Causes Tab - Marilyse Causes Subtab (Quiz) - Marilyse
• Brief introduction of the causes Question 1:Which gas is NOT one of the four main greenhouse
• Explain Greenhouse effect gases?
A. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
B. Helium (HE)
C. Methane (CH4)
D. Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

Question 2:Which one of the main greenhouse gases is the MOST

important factor causing climate change through human activity?
A. Water Vapor (H2O)
B. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
C. Methane (CH4)
https://www.nps.gov/goga/learn/nature/climate-change-causes.htm D. Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

• Explain 4 main gases: Water Vapor (H2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Question 3:Which one is NOT a human activity that increases
Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O) greenhouse gas emission?
A. Transportation
B. Combustion of fossil fuels
C. Picking up garbage along the sidewalks
D. Farmers raising sheep

Question 4: What does an increase in greenhouse gas emission

causes to the Earth’s atmosphere?
A. It creates a blanket that traps greenhouse gases in the
Earth’s atmosphere and cools it.
B. It creates a blanket that traps greenhouse gases in the
Earth’s atmosphere and warms it.
C. Nothing, there is no effect on the Earth’s atmosphere

Effects Subtab (Sea Level) - Jennifer
• Short introduction
• Graph + video to visualize effect
Solutions Tab - Annie
• Brief introduction to a few solutions to climate change
• Focus on two major types of solutions
o Mitigation: reducing the flow of heat and trapping
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
o Adaptation: adapting to the climate change that is already
occurring

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/

• Explain effects on flooding and sea bacteria

Solutions Subtab (Game) - Annie
• Game demonstrating the amount of energy the Earth
gets from the sun and how much people can
eliminate energy from electricity
o Kid friendly interactive display of running a
town with only energy produced by the sun

Discussion Board Tab - Jennifer Members Tab
• Forum for the class to discuss relevant topics • Students must become
o General Discussions – Students can members to participate in
share thoughts, concerns, or discussions
questions about climate change, and
give ideas on how to help our planet
o Class Discussions - Questions will be
posted in this section to further
discuss topics brought up in class
