Abstract
The purpose of this paper is the development of teaching material focused on the investigation and understanding of two anthropogenic causes that contribute in the phenomenon of climate change. The structured activities are based on a constructivist model of learning and are framed by an electronic book (EBook). The material allows the investigation of the emissions of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels and its correlation with temperature rise as well as the emission of black carbon that accelerates the melting of ice, through an equal number of experiments. The application of the material to compulsory education students highlights the potential of the teaching material for students' climate literacy.
