Teaching Materials
Positives
- The lesson includes a pop-up glossary to assist students with vocabulary.
- The lesson includes math connections and provides students with opportunities to practice using graphs.
- This lesson is divided into five sections. The lesson is self-paced, so students can complete each section at their own pace.
Additional Prerequisites
- Familiarity with stoichiometry and writing chemical equations will help students complete the activities. Teachers could develop scaffolds for the stoichiometry questions to help students who may be less familiar with chemical reactions.
- Students should be familiar with graphing and navigating simulations.
- This is part 6 of 9 in Explaining Climate Change, a series of lessons from The King's Centre for Visualization in Science.
Differentiation
- Students could complete the lesson in small groups or pairs.
- Students could make graphic organizers and record information about the five greenhouse gases.
- Teachers could pair the lesson with this hands-on experiment on the greenhouse effect.
