The purpose of this study is to analyze the tenth grade science textbooks as an origin of misconception on greenhouse effect concept and find incorrect descriptions on that concept and then suggest some improved schemes. Some incorrect descriptions, pictures, tables and experiments related to misconceptions on greenhouse effect were found in textbooks. They are considered to contribute to form and reinforce misconceptions on that concept : the most important gas of greenhouse effect, the role of CO₂ on the change of greenhouse effect, global warming, energy sources, greenhouse experiments and the physical processes of greenhouse effect. So some improved schemes were suggested.
