Abstract: Climate change is a critical scientific and social issue of our time, yet the topic is not frequently discussed by the general public. Additionally, misconceptions about the topic persist. One important aspect of climate change is the greenhouse effect. This activity adds a greenhouse gas discussion to an existing module about molecular shape and modeling. The module links the greenhouse effect to climate change. The activity has been used in several introductory chemistry settings. A discussion of student-generated answers and student-reported learning gains is presented.
