If methane were personified as a villain, what would
it look like? Maybe a sinister figure, manipulative and
cunning, with a malicious charm, able to stay invisible
and undetectable? Perhaps there'd be an entire
origin story, an arch nemesis, and an evil agenda. It's
the kind of project a student could really get into.
This is the assignment Brooke Teller, then a high
school science teacher in Portland, Maine, created

for a unit on atmospheric chemistry. She wanted her
students to research the impact of greenhouse gasses
associated with climate change in a way that would
engage and foster creativity. She also wanted her students
to have an authentic, interdisciplinary learning
experience, so once the cartoon villains had been fully
imagined and all aspects of their character backed up
by research, local newscasters stopped by to teach students
how to write a compelling newscast. From there,
students created " a Frontline type of story, " showing
the impact of their gas on the atmosphere.
