In this lesson, students learn about ways in which we study past climate change, and reflect on the present condition of Earth's climate. They explore the effect of greenhouse gases on Earth's atmosphere, and begin to consider the human impact on global warming. An activity is included in which students use thermometers to investigate the greenhouse effect, simulated by introducing water vapor into a glass jar. A set of links is provided to multimedia resources which are used in the lesson.
