"The Greenhouse Effect Revisited," C. Bohren, Weatherwise, 42, 50-55, Feb. 1989. Includes experiments in atmospheric physics to demonstrate the greenhouse effect.

Item #d90jan90

"The Science of the Changing Atmosphere," C. Gietz, Environ. Views, 8-11, Dec. 1988.

Item #d90jan91

"The Significance of Rising Sea Levels," G.J. Conway, Sci. Teacher, 56(1), 63-65, Jan. 1989.

Suggests that graphing changes in tide and ocean levels over time, as well as mapping variations in the continental shelves for various coastal cities, would visibly demonstrate that sea level does change. This activity could introduce a study of the greenhouse effect and its possible influence on sea level, and a discussion of ways to reduce the warming trend.
