Powerpoint and worksheets explaining the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
Starter is an odd-one-out quiz of various human activities which affect climate
Students draw a pie chart showing sources of greenhouse gases from human activities then memorise and sketch the Enhanced Greenhouse Effect
The main work involves constructing a mind map of the effects caused by major greenhouse pollutants (carbon dioxide, water vapour, nitrous oxide, methane and halocarbons)
Differentiated questions:
1-3: How does (a) industry and (b) farming make climate change worse?
4-6: How do humans add to the Greenhouse Effect and climate change?
7-9: Using named chemical compounds, explain how human actions increase the rate of climate change
Plenary: affects of contrails on the short-term weather
Enough for two lessons
Powerpoint and worksheet about the effect of the Gulf Stream on the British Isles
Starter looks at how palm trees grow in Scotland thanks to the North Atlantic Drift
Then the 'Gulf Stream Mystery' to find out how the 'Cold Blob' in the North Atlantic will change Britain's climate. Pupils annotate a map then answer a differentiated question:
1-3: Describe what the UK’s climate might be like if Greenland’s ice melts
4-6: Explain how NASA’s ‘Cold Blob’ could change the UK’s future climate
7-9: Explain how the UK’s climate is linked to the North Atlantic Ocean
Moves on to mapping changes caused by rising sea levels in the UK (to 5 metres) getting info from internet research
Plenary looks at the effects of post-glacial rebound on Scotland and southern England
