Spectacular Science DEBATE POST!!!: Oxygen vs. Carbon Dioxide

This blog post is another a debate showdown! We take topics and make them into a debate!! Today’s topic is… Oxygen vs. Carbon Dioxide. Remember, please send us what side you agree with going to www.spectacularsci.com/debateform and fill out our form!

Oxygen

Oxygen or O2 is a chemical found in the universe. Humans need Oxygen to survive. Oxygen is in our atmosphere and the air that we breathe!! Oxygen helps the animals on this planet survive. Oxygen is a building block of so many elements like Water, or even Carbon Monoxide. Oxygen can be useful for things like rocket fuel. Oxygen in our bodies keeps our organs running and functioning properly. This is why Oxygen is the best element.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide is the best element. One reason is that Carbon Dioxide can extinguish fires!!! Carbon Dioxide replaces the Oxygen in a fire. Fires need Oxygen to burn. Carbon Dioxide is also inhaled by humans!! Carbon Dioxide makes up 30% of the air we breathe! Carbon Dioxide and plants have a link. Plants take in Carbon Dioxide during photosynthesis and make it into Oxygen!! Without Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen would not exist!! Carbon Dioxide does contribute to Climate Change, so don’t use Carbon Dioxide too much. We need to maintain a balance of this element in our atmosphere. This is why Carbon Dioxide is the best!

Result!!!

Scientists think that the balance of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen on Earth is what maintains a healthy ecosystem and healthy life. Please send us what side you agree with going to www.spectacularsci.com/debateform and fill out our form!
