I. Objectives
At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:
a. Explain the greenhouse effect; and
b. Relate the greenhouse effect to the four subsystems of the earth.
II. Materials
3 plastic bags of different thickness or color
3 cups of moist soil
3 rubber bands
thermometer
III. Procedure
1. Get three plastic bags with different thickness or color. Label them A, B, and C.
2. Place the moist soil inside each of the plastic bags.
3. Blow air into each plastic bag making sure that the amount of air inside each is the same or almost the
same.
4. Seal the opening of the bags using rubber bands.
5. Leave the plastic bags, one next to the other, under direct sunlight for 10 minutes.
6. Take a picture of each of your set-up and paste them under the column for pictures of the Data and Results
table.
7. Check the temperature inside and outside of each plastic bag using the thermometer after 10 minutes.
8. Accomplish the table under data and results with the temperature readings and the type of plastic used.
