These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes.

Activity No 1#The Greenhouse effect

  • Estimated Time-40 minutes
  • Materials/ Resources needed-Computer/laptop, projector, screen, PhET simulation
  • Prerequisites/Instructions, if any
  • Students have learnt about global warming.
  • Multimedia resources
  • Website interactives/ links/ simulations

  • Process (How to do the activity)
  • 1.Review of the greenhouse effect using the video on ‘The Greenhouse Effect’ (How carbon di-oxide and water vapour cause greenhouse effect? How greenhouse effect maintain the surface temperature of the Earth?) 2. Using the PhET simulation to understand the mechanism of Earth's greenhouse effect.
