GCA Class Status

●Class emoji responses. What is it? During class sessions with Class virtual
emoji checks are designed to show teachers that students are in-class and
paying attention.

● This is just a feature to reassure LC’s and others who are watching the
sessions that their student is viewing the session.

●Please ensure your teacher that you are involved by following their
prompts and your involvement.

Standard

SEV2. Obtain, evaluate, and
communicate information to
construct explanations of stability
and change in Earth’s ecosystems.
b. Analyze and interpret data to
determine how changes in
atmospheric chemistry (carbon
dioxide and methane) impact the
greenhouse effect.

Generating greenhouse gas

What did you find out last week about where
greenhouse gases are coming from?

What are some sources of greenhouse gas that
surprised you?

Today we’re going to look at some alternatives to
using things that increase greenhouse gas.

Carbon footprint

Patty-Kim’s guide

●Why is hot water in the home
increase your carbon foot print?

●What is carbon footprint, in your
own words?

●What is something not mentioned in
the video to reduce your carbon
footprint?

What is the best thing we can do to cut greenhouse
gas emissions?

🐢 Stop using lights during the day and use them less at night.

🐇 Carpool and use public transportation

😀 Use renewable energy to produce electricity

🔊 Recycle so energy isn’t used to make new things

Let’s Problem Solve!

How can we generate
fewer greenhouse gases?

We know that recycling
gets rid of trash. Did you
know that it also can
reduce greenhouse gas
emissions?

Let’s look at some ways to
reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.

Generating Electricity

Picture of a way that generates electricity
using a method that emits greenhouse gases.
Explain how it does.

Picture of a way to generate electricity that
uses fewer or no greenhouse gases.

Transportation

Picture of a method of transportation using a
method that emits greenhouse gases. Explain
how it does.

Picture method of transportation that uses
fewer or no greenhouse gases. What is one
form of transportation that will be hard to
change?

Food

Picture of a plate of food that produces
greenhouse gases. Explain how.

Picture of a plate of food that produces fewer
greenhouse gases. Is this a change you could
make for one meal a week. Thumbs up or
down!

Electricity use at home

Picture of a way you use electricity at home.

Picture of a way you could use less electricity.

Lesson Summary

➢ Many things that we do and use

everyday contribute to adding
greenhouse gases to the
atmosphere.

➢ We can make a difference by

making small changes.
