Energy Matters: A Web-based Exploration of Energy Today and Tomorrow. Grades K-12. KEEP.
http://www.uwsp.edu/cnr/wcee/keep/HSSupplement/current/global_change.htm. Information about the difference between global warming and ozone depletion. There are also suggested activities and lessons to teach about global warming from the KEEP Activity Guide.
Lesson 1: The Carbon Link. Climate Change: Connections and Solutions. Facing the Future. Grades 6-8.
http://www.facingthefuture.org/Curriculum/ClimateChangeGrades68/tabid/453/Default.aspx. Students take on roles as part of an interactive carbon cycle model, then witness a demonstration of the greenhouse effect and explore its role in global climate change.
Lesson 1: Greenhouse Gas Investigations. Climate Change: Connections and Solutions. Facing the Future. Grades 9-12.
http://www.facingthefuture.org/Curriculum/ClimateChangeGrades912/tabid/454/Default.aspx. Through an experiment, students explore Earth’s greenhouse effect and graph results of 3 scenarios to draw conclusions about how greenhouse gases affect air temperature."
How Greenhouse Gases Absorb Heat. American Museum of Natural History. Grades 9-12.
http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/card_frame.php?rid=1476&rurlid=1450. In this experiment, students will observe two model atmospheres: one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide. These two contained atmospheres will be exposed to light energy from a sunny window or from a lamp. The carbon dioxide is produced by a simple reaction and tested using bromothymol blue (BTB).
Lesson 3: Greenhouse Gasses. NASA. Grades 5-9.
http://astroventure.arc.nasa.gov/teachers/pdf/AV-Atmoslesson-3.pdf. In this lesson, students engage in a radiating heat activity and an activity that measures temperature in models with and without greenhouse gases. They draw conclusions about the effect of greenhouse gases on temperature and on human life. They will also kinesthetically model the absorbing and re-radiation of heat.
Global Climate Change: Understanding the Greenhouse Effect. Teachers’ Domain. Grades 6-12.
http://www.teachersdomain.org/resource/ess05.sci.ess.watcyc.lp_global1/. Changes to Earth's global climate have had and will have major consequences for life on Earth. Using evidence preserved in ice for tens of thousands of years, scientists are searching for an understanding of the history of Earth's climate changes in order to better predict what the future holds for life on the planet. In this lesson, students learn about ways in which we study past climate change, and reflect on the present condition of Earth's climate. They explore the effect of greenhouse gases on Earth's atmosphere, and begin to consider the human impact on global warming.
