GRADE LEVEL PASSAGE RATING SHEET Prompt: Have you ever seen a greenhouse? How do gases affect the

temperature? Read and find out.

The Greenhouse Effect

For 10,000 years, the Earth’s surface temperature remained

steady at 14C with 3% carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This

produced greenhouse gas and water vapor. Today, greenhouse gases

trap heat, keeping Earth warm with water vapor, CO2, methane and

chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

People contribute to make temperature warm. Their increased

electric consumption has resulted to 25% CO2 in atmosphere; allowing

more water vapor that multiplies the increase in temperature.

Scientists think that the Earth would grow warmer by 4-9% by

2050, resulting to drought that might wipe out some animal species.

Questions:

Literal: 1. What gases trap heat and keep the earth’s surface warm?

______

Answer: 10,000 years 3. What will become of the earth by 2050? ______ Answers: - it will grow warmer by 4-9% - there might be drought that

will wipe out some animal species

Interpretive: 4. Why is the earth getting warmer everyday? ______ Possible

Answers: - because most gases like carbon dioxide and methane occur in the atmosphere - there is an increase in burning of fuels - the use of CFCs also increased - amount of greenhouse gases in atmosphere increases - people use appliances with CO2

5. What could be the effect of increased electric

consumption to the environment? ______

Possible Answers:

- - There would be more carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere.

- The Earth will be warm.

Applied: 6. Scientists think that Earth will grow warmer by 2050. How can you help prevent this from happening?

______

Possible Answers:

- minimize the use of CFCs - avoid burning garbage - dispose products consumed everyday (like bottles, plastic bags) properly - use electricity wisely

7. How can you protect yourself from pollutants

like carbon dioxide? ______

Possible Answers:

- plant trees - dispose water properly - maintain and repair vehicles to produce less pollutants - maintain the cleanliness of the environment
