Overview of the Unit 1
For the last several years, scientists have been asking the question “Is the Earth getting warmer?” In this unit, you will investigate this question by observing a global warming experiment. After looking at the data from the experiment, you will make an educated guess about why the world is getting warmer and develop a definition for the term climate change. In addition, you will learn how to preview texts and practice some of the language used to make comparisons when talking about global warming and climate change.

In this unit, you will examine the chemistry of climate change. Through readings and videos, you will explore how different chemicals and gases affect the environment, with a focus on the greenhouse effect. You will also learn how to use the present progressive and the language of cause and effect to explain climate change and its causes.
