Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector

Positives

• Hovering over the graph allows students to see a pop-up box with all of the details.
  
• Students may choose to view data as the relative change instead of the measured data.

• Learners need to be familiar with the concept of greenhouse gas emissions.
• Students should know how to read a line graph.
  

• Have more advanced students work in groups to research what data is included in each sector, to identify all of the potential sources grouped into each category. Then have them brainstorm or research solutions that could reduce emissions in their sector that are currently available.
  
• Math classes could use the data for lessons about data analysis, making graphs, and linear equations.
• Social studies classes could use this data to investigate the drivers of greenhouse gas pollution in different countries over time and how it may be related to increases in development, economic output, and population growth.
