The greenhouse effect
Today’s teaching resource for green English combines an animation and a worksheet which demonstrate to students how excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to the greenhouse effect.
What is the Greenhouse Effect? – PowerPoint
This presentation of six slides developed in partnership with the Science Museum includes a colourful Flash animation showing how the greenhouse effect occurs.
What is the Greenhouse Effect? – Worksheet
In pairs students ask and answer questions about how and why the greenhouse effect occurs before completing a gap-fill exercise and talking about the animation using speaking prompts. Extensive teacher’s notes give options for group work and whole class activities.
