As the world population increases, demands on the carbon cycle also increase. A well-designed lesson first explores the greenhouse effect and its impact on global warming. Further sections have pupils study the effect of greenhouse gases...

More carbon dioxide exists in the atmosphere than ever in human history. An informative video introduces the topic of global warming as part of a larger playlist. It looks at possible causes such as Earth's orbit, Earth's moving axis,...

With so much information floating around about global warming, how can we tell what's really going on? Examine the evidence through a video from Veritasium to sift through everything we hear. The narrator presents convincing data when...

What do quantum mechanics and global warming have to do with each other? More than you might think. Surprisingly, this video explains how it's not the energy emitted from the sun that causes the problem, but how the infrared radiation...

A series of independent learning activities teaches learners about global warming as it relates to economics and industrialization. The culminating project requires them to create a multimedia presentation identifying the problems,...

Changes to the earth's atmosphere can cause environmental change; they can also affect the ocean. Learn how satellite images show scientists what changes are occurring under the surface of the ocean. They can detect temperature shifts,...

This resource provides statistical evidence, backgrounders, FAQs, climate impact reports, and suggested solutions to the global problem.

We obviously don't want to feel responsible for the warming climate, but are we? In this lesson plan you will analyze CO2 data sets and study barriers involved in teaching about global climate change. PBS TeacherLine also provides a...
