Fun with the Greenhouse Effect
http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/ greenhouse-gas-attack
“Greenhouse Gas Attack” on NASA’s kids’
website, The Space Place, is a fun, fast-moving
game that helps kids understand greenhouse
effect and how adding greenhouse gases to the air
makes Earth warmer.
Colored blocks stand for different kinds of
greenhouse gases.
Check out
Greenhouse
Gas Attack!
Yellow “sunlight” balls shine through the
atmosphere, bounce off Earth's surface,
turning to red heat energy balls, which get
stuck within the atmosphere if there's too
much greenhouse gas.
Player clears out greenhouse gas blocks by
hitting them with a "metal" ball using the
paddle at the bottom of the screen.
Player wins when enough heat balls escape
the atmosphere to bring the temperature
down into the "normal" green range on the
thermometer.

Earth-orbiting satellites come by and drop
'power-ups' for you that will help in the
game.
