Teaching Materials
Positives
- This video is concise and breaks down complicated ideas and processes into an easy to understand format.
- This video does a good job of showing the negative and positive effects of greenhouse gases and how humans have impacted them.
- This video shows that the more that people learn about climate change, the more people can do to deal with its effects.
Prerequisites
- There may be an ad before the video.
- Students should be familiar with the greenhouse effect.
- Students should know what an eon is.
Differentiation & Implementation
- This would be a great video to use in a chemistry class to use as an example of a chemical reaction.
- Science classes could also use this when learning about greenhouse gases and what their role is in the Earth's system.
- Some related resources are CO2 and Climate Change, Heating It Up: The Chemistry of the Greenhouse Effect, and Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
