Summary: My WebQuest helps students learn about greenhouse effect and what it
entails. Students will read and answer questions about greenhouse gases, their
production, and their effect on the environment. Students will gather information
from educational websites. They will then collect and analyze data from an
investigation and write a lab report.
Activities: Students will carry out an investigation to determine the effect of
greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, on temperature. They will analyze
their results and apply their analysis to the real-world application of greenhouse
gases and the Earths atmosphere. Students will write a formal lab report containing
the purpose of the investigation, materials, procedures, data, analysis, and
conclusion.
