Nitrogen Passport Activity

Today we did a Nitrogen Passport Activity in science class. We had to go around to different stations and then start to try and see what cycle we would take. Well not everyone went in the same order because everyone started at different stations and rolled the dice with different numbers. This means that each person follows a different cycle and a different path. The station I started at was animals waste. When looking at the results of this experiment I can tell that cycles repeat itself. The cycle I went through repeated itself halfway, which shows that I took the same path again. This explains why cycles are called cycles. Like the wheels on a bicycle, a cycle always repeats itself as long as there is no interference from other sources.  I noticed however that the stations surface water and ocean were usually crowded. This means that most of the nitrogen passes through either the ocean or the surface water or both. This could  be due to the fact that rain usually has nitrogen particles trapped inside of it.  The nitrogen particles were most of the time transported by water or liquids. Since the ocean and surface water are the biggest sources of water and liquid around, I assume that most of the nitrogen ends up there. I think that the point of the activity was to understand the different ways nitrogen can be transported from one place to another. The nitrogen can be transported by many ways but mainly through water as that is the most abundant source on the planet with 70% of the planet being covered by water. Water also has its own cycle which means that the nitrogen can be transported over long distances in rain clouds.
