Activity: Earth under the lid – Understanding the greenhouse effect
5o Dimotiko Sholeio Ermoupolis Ermoupoli Syrou Greece
I am pleased to report that we have successfully completed the activities related to the greenhouse effect with my students. The students participated with great interest and enthusiasm. With the help of experiments and worksheets, the children understood the mechanism of the phenomenon, its significance for life, and the role of greenhouse gases such as CO2. We also explored the connection between the greenhouse effect and climate change, including the potential consequences of a warmer climate, and fostered a sense of environmental responsibility, seeking actions to reduce gas emissions in everyday life. The students in the class were divided into 4 smaller groups and conducted the experiments, completing the worksheets. Each time they completed an activity, each group presented the results, and we compared them with the results of the other groups.
Projects are created by the teams and they take the full responsibility of the shared data. ← All activities
