    David, I have looked at this page and a few others. I was intrigued by your tagxedos.  I load the program but can't find out how to create. It looks interesting but unavailable.  Also it seems you need the progrma to view the animated word cloud so a word to the reader might be needed.

    lots of resources to explore here but I need more timeto dig around.  The Carbon cycle is a click & read not a real simulation. But I do think there is value in here, perhaps with the GMO stuff.  I have not tagged it to show on the website, I think I would find specific sites for this.

    David, The activity looks fine.  The worksheet takes a while to open, because it was the first time for me to use the Word web thing.  What is the advantage of the word web thing over a word doc in the file manager? I think I know but want to hear from you. Perhaps the teacher notes should say something about not using this activity for assessment as the data collection and processing are given.
