Instructional Ideas
- Have learners work in pairs until they reach the greenhouse emission diagram and then have them work independently to show what they have learned
Classroom Considerations
- Video referenced is a brain-pop video which requires a subscription; brain-pop does offer some videos for free, but a different video over the carbon cycle could easily be used
- Depending upon length of discussions, level of classes, and length of class periods, the lesson could be completed in one to two classes
Pros
- Activity includes a box about misconceptions scholars may have and information to correct it, specifically that the ozone hole causes global warming
