A teaching resource (lesson plan / learning flow) designed to help children observe and consider the effects of carbon dioxide on temperature. Pupils will learn about the greenhouse effect/ global warming and how scientists consider that the increase in carbon dioxide and other gases contributes to the increase in global temperatures. They will then complete an 'observing over time investigation' to show the effects of carbon dioxide on temperature.
