Explanation
Greenhouse effects
• Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere,
passing through the blanket of greenhouse
gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, land,
water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight’s
energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent
back into the atmosphere. Some of the
energy passes back into space, but much of it
remains trapped in the atmosphere by the
greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat
up.
• The greenhouse effect is the rise in
temperature that the Earth experiences
because certain gases in the atmosphere
(water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide,
and methane, for example) trap energy from
the sun.
• The glass panels of the greenhouse let in light
but keep heat from escaping
• if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it
could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even
a little extra warming may cause problems for
humans, plants, and animals.
ENGAGE
~ Ice Melting ~
Nowadays ice keep on melting at the Arctic
that caused the rising of sea level. These
three pictures show the effect of ice
melting throughout the year .
Instructions
• 1) Place the both heat sensor in the sunlight for a few minutes to let them
get warm.
• 2) Record the initial readings of the sensor in a table.
• 3) Place 1 of the sensor under the jar. The other sensor is put exposed
directly to the sunlight which act as control.
• 4) After 33 minutes, stop the data logger and get the results.
• 5) Tabulate the result in table and graph form.
