Teaching Materials
Positives
- These engaging and interactive cards use characters to explain greenhouse gases.
- The cards can be downloaded for future reference or printed for activities.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should know that human activity negatively impacts the Earth.
Differentiation
- Teachers could put students in groups of six and give each student in the group one of the greenhouse gas cards. Students could take turns asking each other questions to determine which greenhouse gas card each student has (e.g., "do you occur naturally?" "are you a part of the water cycle?").
- Students could design climate change solution cards with heroes that can fight problems caused by climate change.
