Climate Change - Hurumanu

AIM: TO LOOK AT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

.

The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials:

1. 1 Plastic bottle,
2. 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid,
3. 1 heat lamp,
4. 1 Thermometer,
5. 100 ml of water,
6. 1 rubber bung.

Procedure;

1. Get all of the ingredients ready.
2. Set up the lights, bottle, thermometer, and the bung. 
3. Add the baking soda mix along with 100ml of water.
4. Wait for 5 minutes and start recording the temperature.

Variables:

All water added to the bottles were from the classroom tap.

Findings: The Greenhouse Effect Data 

Minutes	Bottle 1: Water	Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
0	18͑'c	18'c
5	20'c	24'c
10	21'c	26'c
15	22'c	26'c
20	No recording	No recording
25	No recording	No recording
30	No recording	No recording
35	No recording	No recording
40	22'c	33'c
45	No recording	No recording
50	No recording	No recording

Conclusion: The water bottles heat went up slower, and the CO2 bottles heat went up faster. Since the CO2 bottle heats up faster, I can conclude that CO2 causes climate change.
