We  create an innovative pedagogical approach to the issue of climatic changes for secondary school (K12) students using the techniques of podcast and videocasts and also we create different Quizz with javaHotpotatoes

Use this resource from PhET to explore...

How do greenhouse gases affect the climate? Explore the atmosphere during the ice age and today. What happens when you add clouds? Change the greenhouse gas concentration and see how the temperature changes. Then compare to the effect of glass panes. Zoom in and see how light interacts with molecules. Do all atmospheric gases contribute to the greenhouse effect?
