  Global warming and carbon dioxide effects

  mini-MOOC leader - Iriana  Martinez Camuñas (Sweden) and Emel Akyol Kas(Turkyia)
  

  Objectives

  To understand climate change and carbon dioxide effects. Assignment suitable for high school students.  Students will work in groups, 4-5 students in each.

  Predicted time

  • 10 minutes for the engage 
  • 2 hours for the explore and explain part 
  • 30-45 minutes for the extend part

  • Learning outcomes of the mini-MOOC:

    The students will be able to develop skills such as:
    Ability to work in groups, the analytic ability, to understand the problematic of global warming and its effects on climate change etc. 

    
    
    

  • Each miniMOOC is developed on the same methodology, including the parts Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, Evaluate. You can browse all miniMOOCs with guest account, however if you want to mark the checked resources (which you explored, which still need to be explored), to post something in Forum, to provide us Feedback or to do Moodle tests - you need to self-create an account by selecting login and creating an account with your Gmail (or other) acount.

• ENGAGE (10 min)

  To engage the students a photo of an installation in Copenhagen, at City Hall Square, in 2014 called Ice Watch will be presented. Twelve large blocks of ice that had calved from the Greenlandic ice sheet were harvested from a fjord outside Nuuk and brought to Copenhagen and presented in a clock formation. https://olafureliasson.net/archive/artwork/WEK109190/ice-watch
  

  
  

  • Show movie about the installation (2.40 min) 

     . 
    Let the students reflect with help of the questions. Discussion in smaller groups (4-5 students in each group).  (5 minutes)
    

    1. What is the purpose of the installation? 
    2. What is causing the glaciers to melt? 

    Hand out vocabulary box. See attached file.

• EXPLORE

  Show the video as an introduction (16 minutes). The video focuses on the climate change issue and on issues connected to our lifestyle. It has three parts, including a description of the situation and analysis of the climate change issue today. The video closes on a hopeful note about what we can do to resolve the climate change issue in the future.

  • The suggested video is produced by Bifrost and the Nobel Museum in Stockholm. https://bifrostonline.org/a-sustainable-future/ 

    The video is optional depending on the time and the students previous knowledge.
    

    The students explore in groups (4-5 students in each) by watching related videos and reading articles about the topic to try to find out to later explain.  Questions to be answered.  1 hour.
    

    1. Is climate change the same as global warming?
    2. How does carbon dioxide increase Earth's temperature?
    3. How can we stop the carbon dioxide effects?

• EXTEND (30-45 min)

  The students will do an experiment to study the effects of carbon dioxide on temperature. See attached file. The results should be reported in the form of a laboratory report and should also explain the chemical reactions of the experiment. The experiment can also be used in the Engage part.

  • If you have more time: study sculptures affected by acid rain by doing an experiment with for example a limestone or marble and an appropriate acid to observe the effects easely.  Sculptures made by metals and marble are affected by acid rain. The Statue of liberty is an example of this.
