Additional Prerequisites

• The video finishes at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. There is an advertisement that plays after the content.
• Students will need to have a basic understanding of climate change and greenhouse gases before watching the video.
• The video omits nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas with global warming potential between methane and sulfur hexafluoride. Nitrous oxide is almost always mentioned in climate change videos, but it is not here.

Differentiation

• Teachers could use the resources What is Climate Change?, Causes and Effects of Climate Change, or What is Climate Change? | Our Climate Our Future Chapter 1 if students require background information.
• You could create groups of students to conduct research about individual greenhouse gases. Groups of students could study water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride.
