Students will gain an understanding of global warming and climate change through game play. By the end of this lesson, students should begin to understand:
- how the Greenhouse Gas layer works to keep the Earth warm enough for habitation
- the sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other atmospheric pollutants
- why excess carbon (C) in the atmosphere causes warming
- how to articulate why excess Greenhouse Gas (GHG)molecules cause warming
- why the water on Earth also is changing from chemical reactions with atmospheric pollutants
