<p>Cycles Activity and Notes NAME: ______HR:_____ DATE:______</p><p>Introduction: Ecological cycles allow matter to be passed from one organism to another and also from one ecosystem to another. You may have learned about the water cycle in a previous science class. In this activity you will look at both pictures and websites to learn about ecological cycles: the water, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles. </p><p>Directions: 1.
