SUMMARY
Video length 5:04 min.
Selected for the CLEAN Collection. The activity description was developed by CLEAN reviewers:
This is a video that discusses how climate feedbacks influence global warming.
GOALS
To provide students with a better undertanding of what a feedback mechanism is/does and the difference between positive and negative feedback.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING MATERIALS
Explore >> How Climate Feedbacks Worsen Global Warming
TEACHING NOTES / CONTEXT FOR USE
-
Use as a resource after teaching about the carbon cycle and greenhouse effect.
-
Run video through once, and then restart it to eliminate commercial for classroom use.
-
Educator may want to use accompanying visual examples of ocean acidification, ice albedo, and water vapor as a greenhouse gas.
About the Science
-
A British scientist, who has been involved with IPCC AR4, explains amplifying feedback. The primary focus is on how water vapor functions as a greenhouse gas, but he also cites other examples of climate feedbacks - ice albedo and ocean acidification.
-
Passed initial science review - expert science review pending.
About the Pedagogy
-
Good and accessible explanation of what a feedback mechanism is/does and the difference between positive and negative feedback.
-
This is strictly an interview with a scientist - no visuals to illustrate.
Technical Details/Ease of Use
-
Brief commercial at beginning of video.
ASSESSMENT
Discussion questions after the video.
SHORT DESCRIPTION
This is a video that discusses how climate feedbacks influence global warming. Video length 5:04 min.
