EFFECT.
THE GREENHOUSE GASES EXPLAINED.
The Greenhouse Effect experiment
Materials
- 1 plastic bottle
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid
- 1 heat lamp
- 1 Thermometer
- 100 ml water
- 1 rubber bung
Procedure
- Collect 2 bottles, 2 bottles, 2 lamps and 2 thermometers from the teacher
- Set up bottles and lamps beside a powerpoint on a flat surface
- Pour 100ml water and Baking soda mixture into one of the bottles. Add just water to the second bottle
- Start to record your findings taken from both thermometers. These must be every 5 minutes
Findings:The Greenhouse Effect Data
Minutes
|
Bottle 1: Water
|
Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
|
| 0 | 18C | 18C |
| 5 | 20C | 24C |
| 10 | 22C | 24C |
| 15 | 22C | 25C |
| 20 | 23C | 27C |
| 25 | 25C | 29C |
Conclusion:The temperature of the CO2 bottle goes higher than the normal bottle. This showed that CO2 heats up our atmosphere very fast.
