Climate Change Made Simple
Shallcross, Dudley E.; Harrison, Tim G.
Physics Education, v42 n6 p592-597 Nov 2007
The newly revised specifications for GCSE science involve greater consideration of climate change. This topic appears in either the chemistry or biology section, depending on the examination board, and is a good example of "How Science Works." It is therefore timely that students are given an opportunity to conduct some simple climate modelling. The demonstrated model will allow a range of student abilities to investigate the major factors that affect the climate. The model itself has been condensed into a straightforward spreadsheet as well as a web version of the model, and represents a "One Layer Atmosphere Model of the Earth." (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)
