SuitabookThe Greenhouse Effect
Darlene R. Stille
- Reading
- Read together and pause over the distinction between greenhouse gases’ role in supporting life and the risks of excess. Invite your child to explain the process in their own words.
- Themes
- How the greenhouse effect works: The book explains how gases in the atmosphere trap some heat and light, and how excess greenhouse gases can contribute to warming. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Preventing harmful effects: The book discusses identifying pollutants that add to the problem and says understanding the process can help prevent harmful effects. Prevention is presented as a worthwhile aim, though the specific measures and reasoning are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The book refers to global warming’s potentially devastating effects. The particular effects and how they are presented are unclear, so you may wish to check whether this treatment suits your child.
