Climate Change Laboratory

SCI207 Our Dependence Upon the Environment

Introduction

This laboratory is developing experiments into the impacts of climate change and the

causes that lead to this process. This lab would have a deeper view of the environmental effects

of greenhouse dioxide, climate change, and rising sea levels. A better understanding of how the

findings take place on a wider scale can be provided by the testing of multiple outcomes. The

three exercises I do will include various aspects of how climate change takes place.

Hypotheses

The thermostat in the cup of plastic wrap would have a higher temperature due to the plastic

serving as an insulator trapping heat in Theories for operation 1. The hypothesis of Operation 2

is that the foil filled cup with the foil serving as an insulator would have a higher temperature.

The last operation suggests that the water levels for all ices will be the same.

Materials and Methods

The following materials were used to mimic the greenhouse effect: the styrafoam cup,

two thermometers, plastic wrap, rubber band, and a lamp. The cup was covered with a plastic

wrap that was protected with a rubber band.A thermometer was placed securely in the hole by

inserting a small hole through the top of the plastic The additional thermometer was mounted

next to the cup, then I put the lamp over the top of both.Finally, each minute was recorded with

the temperatures of both.

In order to model the albedo effect, the following objects were used for the next activity

two styrafoam cups, two thermometers, transparent tape, a square piece of aluminum foil, a black

construction paper square, tap water and a lamp.I start by filling each cup with 150 mL of tap

water, covering one cup with foil, the other with building paper, and securing it with tape.I put

the thermometers snuggly in the holes by poking a small hole in the top of both the foil and

parchment.After the cups were set up, I recorded the temperatures under the lamp per minute.

I have used the following for this last sea level/ice melt activity: four identical shaped ice

cubes, graduated cylinders, and a funnel. One cylinder was filled, along with two of the four ice
