      About This Lesson

      We hear about greenhouse gases, but what exactly are they? Students explore the metaphors and models surrounding the causes of climate change through hands-on demonstrations and modeling.

      SWBAT
      Explain how greenhouse gases trap heat
      Understand why certain atmospheric gases are considered “greenhouse gases”
      Create a model to explain the greenhouse effect.

      Skills
      Modeling
      Following a protocol
      Communication
