The greenhouse effect provides the warmth needed to sustain life in Earth's troposphere. The greenhouse effect is produced by an interaction between the sun and Earth's atmosphere. Students will design a model of the greenhouse effect using heat lamps provided by the teacher. Students will need to describe how their models will work using a diagram to show the flow of energy through the system. Then build and test their model. They will need to explain how their model demonstrated the greenhouse effect, limitations of their model, and how it could be improved. Students will also need to understand how their model could be used to test the effect of increased carbon dioxide on atmospheric temperature and write a hypothesis. My advanced honors classes will carry out their experiment.
