How does Global Warming work

• This link gives an simple animation showing the process of global warming

• http://earthguide.ucsd.edu/earthguide/diagrams/greenhouse/

Head to the left if you think your evidence is valid and can be used as a model of global

warming

Head to the right if you think your evidence is not valid and can not be used to show how

global warming works.

Give two sources of energy that cause the

earth to heat up

List three gases that can cause global warming

Justify whether you evidence is

valid or not
