The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming - Oxford AQA/Pearson Edexcel A Level Biology

This lesson continues with Topic 22 - Nutrient Cycles of the Oxford AQA International A Level Biology course. Having also taught AQA and Pearson Edexcel for a number of years I can confirm that this lesson is also suitable for the delivery of these courses.

Through this fully resourced lesson students will explore the causes and consequences of global warming. They will start by identify the major greenhouse gases, they will then explain why greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are increasing through creating and annotating a diagram to show the Earth’s greenhouse effect. The main activity in this lesson is an extended writing task where students are tasked with analysing data to determine whether the relationship between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global temperature shows correlation or causation.
