Imagine you are volunteering in a 1st-grade classroom. The students recently learned about the water cycle. One student raises her hand and asks, "I heard that elements like carbon can cycle too. How does the carbon cycle? Is it like water cycles?" How would you explain the cycling of carbon to a 1st-grade student who has not taken an advanced science course?!

The sugar provides food for the plant and it breathes the oxygen out into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis, and it is necessary for plant life
