Lesson Plans and Worksheets
I have used several hands-on lessons that have helped to engage my students in topics that may have been mundane to them. I do not have a text book or resources for many of the topics that I teach, and it is nice to find so many resources in one place.

Greenhouse effect Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Greenhouse Effect lesson plan ideas and activities
Students investigate the greenhouse effect. In this greenhouse effect lesson, students participate in an experiment to recreate the greenhouse effect. Students investigate what could happen to the Earth if the greenhouse effect changed the Earth's temperature.
Students study photosynthesis and then transfer their understanding of this topic to a consideration of how trees can help reduce the negative impacts of the greenhouse effect. They explain the role of humans in increasing the greenhouse effect.
Ninth graders create a model of greenhouse effect in the lab. For this integrated science lesson, 9th graders investigate the different variables affecting this condition. They research about global warming and prepare a PowerPoint presentation to share with the class.
Students complete an online simulation of the greenhouse effect. In this lesson on the greenhouse effect, students use a website, similar to a webquest, to simulate and answer questions on how the greenhouse effect works. This lesson is part of a larger unit on climate change.
Students explain the greenhouse effect. In this global warming instructional activity, students participate in an activity where they experience how greenhouses gases work and how they contribute to global warming. Students complete a diagram depicting the greenhouse effect.
Students create a model of the greenhouse effect by using bottles sealed with plastic wrap. In this greenhouse effect lesson plan students set up an experiment by breathing into one bottle and sealing it. The second bottle is simply sealed. Students measure temperature throughout with a TI CBL2 or Vernier Labpro. Charts and guided questions are included to assist students in analyzing their results.
Learners research about the mechanism of the greenhouse effect. In this environmental science lesson, students create a greenhouse model. They record temperatures over a 24 hour period and relate this to greenhouse effect on Earth.
Students identify what factors effect global warming and how the greenhouse effect occurs. In this environmental lesson students view videos then complete an experiment using a terrarium to observe greenhouse gas.
Students explore global warming by conducting a weather experiment. In this greenhouse gas lesson, students define the greenhouse effect and the impact on our ozone layer. Students utilize a soda pop bottle, floodlight bulb, thermometers and lamp to create the greenhouse effect inside their classroom, recording their observations afterwards.
