Play through this interactive game to learn about Global Climate Change. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
The burning of fossil fuels is a primary source of human carbon dioxide emissions.
The increase in average surface temperature on Earth is known as global warming.
Using renewable energy sources is a solution to climate change.
Agriculture is a primary source of human carbon dioxide emissions.
Reducing emissions through reducing, recycling, and reusing natural resources is a solution to climate change.
Greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat and keep Earth warm by absorbing infrared radiation that radiates from Earth's surface.
Methane emissions into the atmosphere result from natural gas, agriculture, and livestock.
A small increase in average surface temperature can have dramatic effects on Earth's ecosystems.
Global warming is attributed to the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Making cement is a primary source of human carbon dioxide emissions.
