Knowledge Mastery Questions

Students answer open-ended questions requiring deeper explanation of greenhouse-effect concepts. They write 2-3 complete sentences for each prompt, using scientific reasoning to explain ideas such as Earth’s “invisible blanket,” the role of greenhouse gases in supporting life, and the consequences of eliminating or intensifying the greenhouse effect. The worksheet encourages thoughtful, evidence-based responses and supports mastery of climate science ideas. This activity promotes writing skills, critical analysis, and clear communication of environmental processes.
