GROUP WORK

Write at least five descriptions from the video that you

have just watched. You are given 10 minutes to work
together as a group and post your work after. The first
to post their work will get an extra 10 points

Group 1 – Greenhouse Gases

Group 2 – Greenhouse Effect
Group 3 – Climate Change
Global 4 – Global Warming
In this module, you should be able to…
1. Explain the relationship between
Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming.
2. Identify the mechanism of Greenhouse
Effect.
3. Formulate possible ways to help minimize
Global Warming as a result of Greenhouse
Effect.
• This is Planet Venus, the second
planet from the Sun and the
hottest planet in the Solar
System due to Greenhouse
effect.
• Surface temperature could soar
as high as 464 °C.
• No one would survive in Venus
due to its inhospitable
temperature.
• The Venusian lander Venera was
able to take photos in just 12
minutes and destroyed after due
to the intense heat.
Do you want Earth to become like Venus?
FIRST OF ALL,
WHAT IS A
GREENHOUSE?
• In temperate countries, a greenhouse is used to grow
seedlings in the late winter and early spring and later,
planted in the open field when the weather is warmer.
• It also protects (Greenhouse) the plants from weather
phenomena such as snowstorm or dust storms.
• In tropical countries, greenhouses are used by commercial
plant growers to protect flowering and ornamental plants
from harsh weather conditions and insect attacks.
• Greenhouses range in size from small sheds to very large
buildings, their coverings range from glass or even plastic.
OKAY GOT YOU IN
THERE BUT…
HOW DOES A
GREENHOUSE WORK?
• Greenhouses allow sunlight to enter
but prevent heat from escaping. It
warms the inside of the greenhouse
as energy is absorbed by the plants,
soil and other things inside the
building.
• The Earth’s atmosphere is compared
to a greenhouse. Earth’s atmosphere
contains trace gases such as Carbon
Dioxide, water vapor, methane and
ozone. These gases have similar
effect on the sun’s rays. They allow
sunlight to pass through, resulting in
the warming up of the Earth’s surface.
SO WHAT
HAPPENS
AFTER
GREENHOUSE
EFFECT?
So what is the relationship between
Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming?
 Think Tank…
1. What can you do to help
minimize greenhouse
effect?
2. What causes
Greenhouse effect?
3. What is the result of
Greenhouse Effect?
4. What would happen if
global temperature
keeps going high?
 ASSIGNMENT

1. Research on at least five human activities that affect the

atmosphere. Write your answers on your lecture
notebook. Some answers can be found on your
Learner’s Module, some can be found in the Internet.
2. What are Breezes and the difference of Sea Breeze and
Mountain Breezes, Monsoons and Intertropical
Convergence Zones?
