Students will watch the greenhouse effect in action through a hands-on experiment.
The Energy Coalition will send you paper plates and plastic knives to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will understand the connection between energy generation and climate change. Specifically, they will understand how fossil fuels contribute to the greenhouse effect and observe how temperature increases when increased “gases” trap heat.
Suggested Teaching Time: 45 min
NGSS Standards: 3-LS4-1, 4-ESS3-2, 5-ESS3-1
