Dear Linda,

in Switzerland we are developing teaching materials for classes 1-9 in two ways: as a systems training in different topics or as thematic units. one unit for secondary level is on the greenhouse effect.
From the Playbook we used the following activities combined with the appropriate questions that lead to thoughts about the greenhouse effect:
Frames
Circles in the Air
Connection Game
Paper Fold
"Dog Bisquit" Swing (is this the right name?)
From the Book "The Shabe of Change" (Allen and Tichotsky) we used
Making Friends
Rainforest Game

Best wishes from across the ocean
Ursula
