What it is
- This short question set serves as a warm-up that probes what students already know about climate change and surfaces common misconceptions.
- The questions cover how scientists gather evidence, the natural greenhouse effect, which gases trap heat, and the cooling effect of some atmospheric pollution.
Teaching tips
Classroom Implementation:
- Use this to gauge what students already know before beginning a unit about climate change.
- Consider having students commit to an answer, then pair up to defend their reasoning before the correct responses are revealed.
Preparation:
- To save their progress and see their overall results, students will need to create an account. Students without an account can submit each question individually and record their results.
