The burning of fossil fuels negatively impacts the environment by contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming. The document discusses how the greenhouse effect traps heat from the Earth's surface, which would otherwise be around -18 degrees Celsius without this effect. However, increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing this effect and causing average global temperatures to rise. This phenomenon is called global warming. The document instructs students to learn more about these topics by watching videos, completing an activity comparing past and present temperatures, and making posters explaining the process of global warming.
A fun and informative 20 minute slideshow that covers key terms, definitions and some of the science behind climate change. This slideshow is a pre-program requirement for all classes registered for WildED's Exploring the Nature of Our Changing Climate Outdoor Classroom Program. As a stand-alone resource, it provides a basic introduction to the topic of climate change.

Final slideshow from the Climate School in Narvik, Norway. Marina Kaitalidou, a gifted student at the Climate School, has made this slideshow and was making the final lecture based on this slideshow. Enjoy.
This is the PowerPoint presentation of Global warming which includes causes, effects precautions and famous quotes given by inspirational leaders. It is very helpful for students.
Thank You❤️
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

6. The Greenhouse Effect:
When heat from the Earth is absorbed by
greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and then
emitted back to Earth, the Earth’s surface and
oceans heat up. This is known as the greenhouse
effect.
7. The Greenhouse Effect:
Without the greenhouse effect,
the Earth’s surface would be about
-18 degrees Celsius (or about -0.5
degree Fahrenheit) and most life
could not live.
8. The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect:
Is the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere as a result of human activities.
Greenhouse Gas: gases in our atmosphere
which absorb heat energy from the Earth
and send it back to Earth; as a result, the
Earth becomes warmer.
e.g. carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
come from natural and artificial sources
Great Video Link!
9. What is global warming?
What do we already know about
global warming?
What does the Greenhouse Effect
have to do with Global Warming?
10. Global warming refers to the increase
in temperature around the world over
the last half of the twentieth century.
Global Warming: is an increase in average
temperature of the Earth's surface and oceans from
1905-2005, the global average surface temperature
increased 0.74 degrees Celsius (or about 1.4 degrees
Fahrenheit) in some areas like Canada’s arctic, the
average temperature is rising more quickly (e.g. the
Mackenzie Basin has experienced an increase of 1.5
degrees Celsius or 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit)
11. Global Warming Poster Activity
Split the class into groups of 4.
Hand out Global Warming Poster and review the vocabulary. Give
each group one A3 piece of paper.
Have the students create a creative poster that explains the
process of global warming. They need to include the words and
images on the sheet of paper.
Afterwards, have the students present their posters, and come
up with a class image of how global warming works. You can
have them write it in their notebooks as you draw it on the
board.
You can even watch the BrainPop on global warming at this point
if you want. It’s repetitive but the reinforcement is good.
