GCSE 9-1; Climate - Natural causes of climate change

The first activity involves students making a teaching resource on flipchart paper, using an information sheet they are given. The three natural causes of climate change studied are Milankovitch cycles, tectonic activity and sunspots. After 15 minutes the students should give presentations about their cause to the other groups who make notes. A note taking sheet is provided and a set of answers. Next there is an examination question about the causes of climate change. After that is a whiteboard quiz to test the students recall of the facts from the lesson. Finally students are introduced to the enhanced greenhouse effect - climate change caused by humans. They undertake a gap fill activity to explain in detail the greenhouse effect. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
