The Tree Carbon Tape was created by the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) to give students a tangible sense of the amount of carbon stored by Oregon’s forests.
This instruction guide is designed to help you use the Tree Carbon Tape in your middle school classroom. It suggests discussion questions and learning activities to help bring the idea of carbon sequestration alive for your students. It also identifies standards connections to assist you in making the necessary links with your school curriculum, and provides background information to support you in presenting this topic to students.
