Global warming Lesson Plans

Eighth graders examine global warming. For this research based lesson, 8th graders will research and identify the causes and effects of global warming. They discuss their findings with other members from their class.

Students are members of the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. They make recommendations to the "governor" and a panel of his advisors regarding the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Learners use worksheets, lab activities, and computer animations to explore climate change. In this global warming instructional activity, students experiment to determine carbon dioxide concentrations in various gas mixtures. They use worksheets and flash interactive animations to demonstrate increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in Earth's atmosphere.

Young scholars conduct lab activities, computer visualizations, and other various forms of research in preparation for a role-play activity in which they assume the identities of advisors to various heads of state on the subject of global warming.

Students describe what global warming is, what causes global warming and the impact to our world. They study the threat of global warming and its relationship to the use of fossil fuels.

Students explore climate changes and global warming. In this climate change lesson, students create an endangered species class section. Students investigate actions to reduce global warming.

Ninth graders investigate whether stronger hurricanes are signs of global warming. In this environmental science lesson, 9th graders research both sides of the issue about global warming. They debate for or against this issue in class.

Students study global warming by communicating the problem, process and solutions.  In this global lesson students use graphs, research and write a critical stance on natural disasters.

Young scholars examine the changes in Earth's temperature. In this global warming lesson, students perform an experiment testing temperatures of soil. Young scholars record their findings and discuss what made the differences in the soil temperature.

Students explore the greenhouse effect and how it affects our climate.  In this global warming lesson students draw the sun and label features and describe the effects of the sun's energy on the world.
