Comment on this resource
This series of activities demonstrates effects of rising levels of greenhouse gases. Specifically, it shows how: an increase of heat-trapping gases atmosphere raises temperatures; higher temperatures affect the water cycle; and rising sea levels could affect coastal areas as a result of glacial and polar ice. Designed to teach through scientific inquiry, the activities seek to stimulate thought about the long-term impact of a warmer planet. This resource responds to national education standards in the English language arts, geography, social studies, mathematics, and science.
