The green house effect

The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials

1. 1 plastic bottle
2. 1 teaspoon baking soda and citric acid
3. 1 heat lamp
4. 2 thermometer
5. 100ml water
6. 1 rubber bung

Procedure

2. Set up bottles and lamps beside a powerpoint on a flat surface
3. Pour 100ml water and Baking soda mixture into one of the bottles. Add just water to the second bottle
4. 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.
