I am older than a T-Rex, but I'm in your arm right now. I was born in a star, but I float in the air. What am I?
New Carbon is only made inside dying stars! When they explode, they send LEGO bricks flying into space to build planets.
Carbon is recycled. Our brick might have once built the bones of a LEGO T-Rex millions of years ago!
Trees don't eat dirt—they pull Carbon right out of the invisible air! They use it to build solid wood branches.
The sun splits the Water (H+O) and the CO2 gas (C+O). Then, it glues Carbon and Hydrogen together to build Sugar!
Animals only keep 10% of the energy. The rest is used up just living and hopping!
We burn sugar with Oxygen for fuel, then breathe out the Carbon gas!
Carbon sinks to the deep sea as Marine Snow.
Decomposers reset the chain!
