This is a Grade 7 Science learning resource for learners that focuses on various interactions within the Earth's atmosphere. It covers greenhouse effect, global warming, land and sea breezes, monsoons, and the intertropical convergence zone. It includes activities to explore the layers of the atmosphere, create a model greenhouse, investigate how air is heated, and explain sea and land breezes. Activities also integrate the concept of financial literacy by exploring carbon footprints and connecting them to spending habits.
Objective
1. Compose a song about atmospheric interactions.
2. Construct and interpret a model greenhouse to explain the greenhouse effect.
3. Explain what happens when air is heated and relate it to air movement (breezes).
4. Analyze graphical data of atmospheric layers and identify the basis for their division.
5. Explain the concept of land and sea breezes.
6. Understand the relationship between wind direction and pressure systems.
7. Calculate and analyze individual and family carbon footprints.
8. Relate carbon footprint to responsible spending and environmental impact.
