Students review the meanings of global warming and global dimming. While watching a video, they take notes on different aspects of the issue. In groups, they develop a list on what can be done to reduce global dimming. They participate in an experiment which they measure and record weather conditions for a specific amount of time. To end the lesson, they determine the various factors that affect evaporation.
