Oral presentation

Climate change education requires scientifically sound, classroom-tested activities. We present two tasks designed to deepen students’ understanding of global warming and scientific reasoning. The first uses Eunice Foote’s historical experiments to provide an authentic context for practising scientific reasoning. The second activity explains the mechanism of the enhanced greenhouse effect...
