An inquiry lab measuring the effect of carbon dioxide and temperature change in an enclosed environment to simulate the greenhouse effect.

Rainforests at the Crossroads: Simulate the greenhouse effect by collecting and analyzing temperature data in three conditions: an open beaker, a covered beaker, and a covered beaker into which they breathe. Simulate the sun with a lamp...

Students learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. They construct their own miniature greenhouses and explore how their designs take advantage of heat transfer processes to create controlled environments....

A lab where students will construct their own small greenhouse out of a plastic container, plastic wrap, and different materials to observe the effect this has on temperature. Data is collected, graphed, and saved online to be graded by...

Find out how Earth's atmosphere acts like a greenhouse, and the effect this has on ecosystems.

Lesson plan in which young scholars observe and contrast thermal properties of three major greenhouse gases. Using simple, readily available materials, students collect temperature change over time for dry air, water-saturated air,...

Climate scientists around the world study greenhouse gases and the ways they affect global climate. By making a small greenhouse, recreate the greenhouse effect and measure its effect on temperature.

Use this interactive infographic to learn about the function of greenhouse gases, and how they affect heat in the atmosphere.

Check out the whole story of climate from ancient times through greenhouse gasses with this interactive resource.

This is a laboratory activity in which students will compare the amount of carbon dioxide in four different sources of gas and determine the carbon dioxide contribution from automobiles. They test ambient air, human exhalation,...

The BBC offers an interactive guide to climate change, including a sliding scale depicting climate change from 1885 to 2099, animation which explores how the greenhouse effect works, and detailed diagrams exploring the carbon cycle, the...
