the new lesson

 What gas is present in the atmosphere of Venus that

explains its high surface temperature?

The ‘greenhouse effect’ is a natural process and it warms the

Earth. Without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be very cold,
too cold for living things, such as plants and animals. It contains
some data about Venus and Earth, planets that are almost of the
same size and if you remember from elementary school science,
are near each other, so they are called twin planets. The
composition of atmosphere and the average surface temperature
of the two planets are also given.

 Why is the average temperature of Venus very much

higher than that of Earth? What could have caused this

 phenomenon?

Both Earth and Venus have carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in

their atmospheres. The small amount of carbon dioxide on
Earth’s gives the right temperature for living things to survive.

 With the high surface temperature of Venus due to its

high carbon dioxide concentration, do you think life
forms like those we know of could exist there? Why or
why not?

concepts and
practicing new skills Show Figure 6 (Carbon dioxide measurements in Mauna Loa
#1 Observatory, Hawaii) which can be found in the LM and let
them answer the following questions.

Essential Questions:
1. Studies have shown that before 1750 (called the pre-
industrialization years), carbon dioxide concentration was
about 0.028 percent or 280 parts per million (ppm) by volume.
The graph below shows the concentration of carbon dioxide
from 1958 to 2003. What information can you derive from the
graph?

2. Recent studies report that in 2000-2009, carbon dioxide

rose by 2.0 ppm per year. In 2011, the level is higher than at
any time during the last 800 thousand years. Local temperatures
fluctuate naturally, over the past 50 years but the average
global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded
history. So what if there is increasing emission of greenhouse
gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? What is the
problem with a small increase in carbon dioxide concentration
in the atmosphere?

Prepared by: JUDELYN E. JAYME-DIONSON

 3. What is the effect if more carbon dioxide is trapped in the
Earth’s atmosphere?

More carbon dioxide means that more heat is trapped in Earth’s

atmosphere. More heat cannot return back into space. More heat
trapped by the carbon dioxide means a warmer Earth. The
increasing temperature phenomenon is known as ‘global
warming’.

E. Discussing new Sources of Greenhouse Gases

concepts and
practicing new skills Discuss and show the figure below to the class:
#2

Essential Questions:

1. Which fossil fuel has the highest contribution to carbon dioxide

concentration in the atmosphere?
2. What human activities use this fuel? List at least three.
3. Recall Module 1. What kind of fossil fuels are used in the
Philippines? Are we also contributing to the increase in carbon
dioxide
concentration in the atmosphere? Why or why not?

Discussion follows.

F. Developing Mastery The Environment Management Bureau (EMB) of the DENR

recommends the practices listed below to help control air
pollution in the Philippines. For each practice, identify the
people who are expected to implement the practice. Using the

following letters: D for drivers (meaning, those who drive any
motor vehicle); E for everybody (including you and other
members of your family); and I for the people in industry.

Practice Person(s) to Implement It

Maintain the vehicle by
changing oil regularly,
preferably every 4,700 km.
Keep engine well-tuned.
Observe proper driving habits
and travel at speed required by
regulations and road
conditions.
Plan trips and do not overload
vehicles.
Talk to bus or tricycle drivers
about high health risks of
smoke belching as a result of
poor vehicle maintenance and
driving habits.
Patronize mass railway
transits.
Practice cleaner production
and pollution prevention for
industries.
Continue operation of air
pollution control equipment
for industries.
Use low-watt bulbs or energy-
saving lights.
Use natural lighting by pulling
aside curtains at daytime.
Do not burn garbage.
Avoid using aerosols.
Report smoke-belchers.
Report industries that emit
heavy smoke.
Avoid smoking in public
places, buildings, and
enclosed areas or public
transports.
