Greenhouse Gas / Global Warming Simulation
This experiment tried to simulate the warming of an atmosphere and the effects of greenhouse gases within an atmosphere. To do this, we placed a temperature probe within a clear plastic 2 liter bottle and placed the bottle under light from either a lamp or the sun. We recorded the temperature of the warming bottle for ten minutes, moved the bottle out of the light and recorded for an additional five minutes. We repeated this for three trials where the bottle either was empty, contained water, or contained water and carbon dioxide.
