Climate Change & Greenhouse Gases | Conservation

AIM: TO LOOK AT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT. THE GREENHOUSE GASES

The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials

1. 2 Plastic bottles (1 litre each)
2. 2 thermometers
3. 1/4 of a cup
4. 1 tablespoon of baking soda

Procedure

1. Plugin the heat lamps.
2. Put the heat lamps facing towards the bottles.
3. Add the water and baking soda mixture to one of the bottles.
4. Add just water to the second bottle.
5. Put the rubber band and thermometer in the bottle top.
6.  Shake the bottle with baking soda.
7. Watch and record the temperature of the bottles.

Findings: The Greenhouse Effect Data 

Minutes	Bottle 1: Water	Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
0	18°	18°
5	24°	25°
10	24°	25°
15	25°	27°
20	25°	28°

Here is a video of the experiment. Because the video is long, I made it to a time-lapse, 4x speed. Hope you like it.

Thanks to Kapwing for making the Time Lapse.

Conclusion:

What I have learnt today is that water with Carbon Dioxide gas heats up faster than normal water. The normal water changed a bit of temperature where the other bottle changed a lot and faster.
