Weather Makers - Understanding greenhouse gases

Students investigate the role of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, their contribution to the greenhouse effect and their influence on the Earth’s temperature. As part of this activity students are asked to design, implement and observe an experiment simulating the greenhouse effect. Finally, students will reflect on their learning by comparing CO2 and temperatures on Earth to those on Venus.

These activities “… are an invaluable tool for teachers to address climate change in an educationally relevant, scientifically sound, and action-­based way.” – Tim Flannery (Read more)
