After reading an (attached) article about greenhouse gases, students reply to six questions about what they've learned. This activity would fit well into an environmental science class, a government class, or a current events class...

Learners predict if icebergs melting has an effect on the sea level rising.  In this global warming lesson students complete an experiment to see the effects of melting icebergs and write a conclusion on their data collected.

Eighth graders explore global warming. In this Earth Science lesson plan, 8th graders will look for Harbingers and fingerprints for different areas. The students will identify an area at risk and they will then create a...

Students explore the concept of global climate. For this global climate lesson, students research and investigate global warming and its effects on the world over the course of 9 lessons. Students create a proposal that show the effects...

In this human impact on the environment worksheet, students fill in the blanks to complete sentences about how humans have negatively affected the environment. They complete sentences about the actions taken to reduce and repair the...

Young scholars locate Lake Mead, then read a news article about Lake Mead drying up and how that would effect water and power supplies to the region. In this current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article with a map and...

Students examine the continent of Antarctica, then read a news article about the decline in the Antarctic penguin population. In this current events lesson, the teacher introduces the article with a discussion and vocabulary activity,...

In this environment worksheet, students distinguish between UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiation and explain. Then they list various explanations of the source of ozone depletion. Students also describe why an increase in smog ozone does not...

Students work in small groups researching the impact of climate change on a particular country, and predict future impacts for this country. They simulate an international summit on climate change. Students understand the impact of the...

Young scholars build and evaluate simple models to understand the greenhouse effect. They explore the role of increased greenhouse gas concentration in global warming, and the implications of global warming theory for engineers,...

Students design and create a structure that acts as a greenhouse and measure and record temperatures within the structure over a 24 -hour period, research global warming and answer the given discussion questions.

Students recall details about the formation of the earth and early atmosphere. They name the layers of the atmosphere and compare amounts of atmospheric nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Formulate questions about global warming.

In this environmental science instructional activity, students read and study online resources on global climate change to complete 8 short answer questions on the topic.

Students study climate change and the arguments of scientists that it exists.  In this climate change lesson students complete a class activity and answer questions.  

Students study climate change and come up with possible remedies for it.  In this global warming lesson students complete and activity and watch a video on climate change.

Students explain how recycling cuts down on greenhouse gases, and explore the consequences of global warming.  In this global warming lesson students divide into teams and create a useful product made out of recyclable items.

Students consider the impacts of global warming and brainstorm ways to help decrease their contribution to the problem.  In this climate change lesson plan, students are exposed to facts concerning global warming and think of ways...

In this research instructional activity, students look up the answers to three questions about the environment. They write short answers in the chart after researching if ozone harms humans, how many acres of rainforest are being...

Students research and investigate the concepts carbon cycle and fossil fuels. They graph the carbon dioxide production as well as populations of six nations. Together they generate a variety of recommendations to reduce travel=related...

Students investigate what is known as the Greenhouse Effect. They begin to explore what some scientist think is the nature and fundamental causes of this problem. Students are able to give suggestions for alternative causes of global...

Pupils conduct research projects to determine the effects of climatic changes on the spread of infectious diseases throughout regions. After conducting their Internet research, students develop mini-presentations on their given disease...

Fourth graders discover that scientists examine evidence from around the world in order to explain global climate change. They see that records of climate change exist, and describe photographs interpreting changes in glaciers over time.

Fourth graders receive data about tree ring records, solar activity, and volcanic eruptions during the Little Ice Age (1350-1850). From this data, they draw conclusions about possible natural causes of climate change

Learners explore the relationship between greenhouse gases and global warming. Carbon dioxide is studied as a contributor to the problem.
