Greenhouse effect bulldog

This playground game practically demonstrates the way greenhouse gases return energy to the Earth’s surface. By the end of the session, learners will understand that greenhouse gases are essential to maintaining our climate, but that increasing the amount of greenhouse gas leads to heating. It is a very active session so a great way to enable learners to run off some energy!
