Welcome to theScience 9Self-Learning Module13 on Greenhouse!
This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and
reviewed by educators fromthe Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin, in partnership with the CityGovernment of Pasig through its mayor, HonorableVictor Ma. Regis N. Sotto.The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC)in developing this instructional resource.
This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the module:
Notes to the Teacher
This contains helpful tips or strategies that will help you in guiding the learners.
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own learning.

RECAP
In your previous lesson, you encountered about the different factors that affect the climate of an area. Let’s recall.
True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is not.
1. Air temperature decreases when altitude increases.
2. The closer the place is to the equator, the colder the climate is; the farther the place is from the equator the warmer the climate is. 3. Bodies of water regulate the climate of a certain area. 4. Ocean current is the overall atmospheric condition of a place for a period of 30 years or more. 5. Water absorbs heat faster than soil. LESSON
“It’s getting hot in here.” Here is the common quote we usually say about our climate. According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by a little more than 1° Celsius (2° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade. It’s proves that the world is getting warmer.
Aside from that, carbon dioxide concentration levels are also rising, and they’re linked to industrialization. According to Chasek, Pamela,PHD, a climate change specialist and government professor at Manhattan College, explains how things have changed with industrialization. Pre-industrial levels of carbon were about 280 parts per million, and only rose by about 20 parts per million over a thousand years prior to industrialization." Last March 2016, there were 403.94 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. That ties directly to industrialization, which ties directly to human impact.
What do you think are the reasons for these phenomena?
Greenhouse serves as the glass walls that trap the sun’s heat. It stays warm inside, even during the winter. In the daytime, sunlight shines into the greenhouse and warms the plants and air inside. At nighttime, it's colder outside, but the greenhouse stays warm inside.
Greenhouse gases form a blanket around our planet. If we didn’t have
greenhouse gases then our planet would be very cold and it wouldn’t be inhabitable for people, so having some greenhouse gases at a steady state has evolved in our planet for billions of years.
What is a greenhouse gas? It is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range. It causes the greenhouse effect on our planets. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3). Figure No. 2: How does greenhouse work?
How does it work? Solar energy absorbed at Earth's surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it. They radiate the heat back to the Earth's surface, to another greenhouse gas molecule, or out to space.
How does carbon dioxide affect global temperature?
Carbon dioxide controls the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere and thus the size of the greenhouse effect. This means that Earth's temperature will increase at least another 0.6 degrees Celsius (1degree Fahrenheit) because of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. It controls temperature because the molecules in the air absorb infrared radiation. The carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere are virtually transparent to the visible radiation that delivers the sun's energy to the earth.
Figure No. 3: Global Average Temperature and Carbon Dioxide Concentrations
http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mkeatts/evidenceforwarming.htm Based on the graph, it shows that when carbon dioxide increases, the global temperature also increases, thus showing a direct proportionality relationship.
When the Industrial Revolution began, more emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threatened all living things. Developed countries and developing countries became more dependent on fossil fuels. Burning of fossil fuels is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emission.
What would be the outcome if there is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? There would be an increase of global temperature. So, when will you take action to help stop this phenomenon?
The climate is changing. Earth needs an antibiotic! How serious is the
problem? As frequently quoted, “We only have one Earth,” hence, we should take care of our planet not only for our own sake but more importantly for the future generations.
