Greenhouse Effect Diagrams | GCSE Chemistry

A set of GCSE Chemistry diagrams illustrating the key stages of the greenhouse effect, from incoming solar radiation to the absorption and re-emission of infrared radiation by greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse effect diagrams showing incoming solar radiation, reflection, infrared radiation emitted by Earth’s surface, and absorption and re-emission by greenhouse gases

The set presents the greenhouse effect as a sequence of connected stages. A numbered summary diagram shows the complete process at a glance, while five annotated panels illustrate each stage separately, making the sequence easy to introduce and explain step by step.

Printable greenhouse effect diagrams showing a numbered summary and five individual stages, with blank recall boxes for students to complete

These high-contrast, printable versions of the greenhouse effect diagrams feature recall boxes for use in worksheet and assessment activities. The five individual stages can be used in sequence to help students recall the processes involved, while the numbered summary diagram brings the complete sequence together for revision.

Flexible for teaching and assessment

Four versions of the set included

  • Colour | labelled, with summary diagram

  • Greyscale | labelled, with summary diagram

  • Colour | recall

  • Greyscale | recall

The labelled versions can be used to introduce and explain the mechanisms involved in the greenhouse effect. The recall versions include blank areas for students to complete, making them useful for retrieval practice, revision and assessment activities.

The high-contrast greyscale versions are designed specifically for printing and photocopying, while the colour versions work particularly well for presentations, digital resources and classroom displays.
