Let’s teach our children about global warming

Friends, you should know that, due to global warming and environmental problems, the earth’s temperature is constantly rising.

If the necessary measures are not taken to save the earth’s environment, the day is not far when it will be completely polluted, and it will be impossible to save life here. Below are some of the websites that will enhance your knowledge of the earth.

Nasa Climate Kids

This is a children’s education site (climatekids.nasa.gov) developed by the US space agency Nasa. It is a treasure trove of the environment, where you will find answers to all kinds of questions.

Different sections have been created here. After going to the Big Questions section, you can find answers to questions related to greenhouse effect, climate change and so on.

There are also sections on weather and climate, water, energy, plants and animals, etcetera, in which you will find various information related to the environment and the earth.

The good news is that you can watch related videos here or play games based on the environment.

Noah Games
