Begin the lesson by discussing the concept of a greenhouse and how it traps heat. Use this analogy to introduce the greenhouse effect on Earth.

Engage students with a brief discussion on why understanding the greenhouse effect is important for understanding climate change and its impacts.

Explain the greenhouse effect using clear definitions and examples of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.

Introduce the video 'What is the Greenhouse Effect?' to visually demonstrate how Earth's atmosphere traps heat.

Watch 'Effect of Increased Greenhouse Gases in our Atmosphere' to explore the impact of human activities on climate.

Facilitate a discussion on how increased greenhouse gases affect global temperatures and climate patterns.

Conduct an experiment where students create a simple model to demonstrate the greenhouse effect using a jar, thermometer, and lamp.

Encourage students to observe and record temperature changes in their model to understand the concept of heat trapping.

Assign students to research and list ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their daily lives.

Watch 'Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions – What You Can Do' to provide actionable steps for mitigating climate change.

Use the 'Climate Change' assessment to evaluate students' understanding of the causes and effects of climate change.

Have students reflect on what they learned about the greenhouse effect and its impact on the environment.

Discuss the importance of taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the planet.

Administer the 'Review – Weather and Climate' assessment to test students' overall understanding of the unit.

Encourage students to explore further by researching current events related to climate change and presenting their findings.
