	In partnership with Iowa State University, James Dailey & Associates has delivered a unique ExtendSim v7 simulation model that offers both kids and adults an understanding of how rain forests impact carbon cycling and global warming.
	The simulation is representative of a rain forest project in La Selva, Costa Rica and is being displayed at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables, Florida. The model will also be used as part of the The Fairchild Challenge for Middle Schools and High Schools, an education outreach program that fosters interest in the environment.
	The model development leveraged the new ExtendSim v7 AT Rate library and database, plus a number of animation tricks to show carbon movement. An integrated lesson pane plus four levels of model complexity walks users through the carbon cycle experience. The model is fully configured in both English and Spanish and is supported by an instructional movie.
	James Dailey & Associates would like to thank 1Point2 (Sassenage, France), Tim Read at Five Fingers Creative (Ames, Iowa), and Steve Papp (River Falls, Wisconsin) for their support in the completion of this model.
