Where do the Nutrients go?
Nitrogen and Phosphorus are essential to life, but how do they travel through the environment? This activity will give students an opportunity to explore this question with a lesson on the cycles of these elements. The introductory video has a built in assessment that can be used to create a flipped classroom lesson and the fill in the blank cycles game can be used for a collaborative effort between students.
