In this lesson I discuss some theories of what the Earth and its atmosphere may have been like in the past, and set a task for students to create a storyboard of how the atmosphere has changed over time.

I teach the AQA GCSE Chemistry course, including both double (8464) and triple (8462) award, and as such most of these resources will be specific to that course, however they may also be useful for other specifications.
