Title: The Causes of Climate Change
This OER presents the Greenhouse effect
The students will be able to understand what are the causes of climate change, to analyze graphs, images that show evidence and evaluate human activities that have fundamentally increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere, warming the planet.
