Using the scientific method, scientists have shown that humans are extremely likely the dominant cause of today’s climate change. The theory dates back tc the late 1800s, but in the mid 1900’s, scientists began collecting massive amounts of data, including CO levels in the atmosphere, to show significant

In this Greenhouse Stfect Lab, you will simulate the effect on varfous gasses in the atmosphere, then answer the following questions utilizing the Scientific

‘The exact steps of the scientific method can vary by discipline. but since we have only one Earth (and no “test” Earth), climate scientists follow a few

As you can see, the scientific method is repetitive, meaning that climate scientists are constantly making new discoveries about the world based on the building blocks of scientific knowledge
Assignment:
Your goal is to understand the following concepts and make a “hypothesis” surrounding one or both concepts listed below, then use the scientific method to determine the results according to the results from the online integrative lab

Concept 1. Increase the number of class lavers. What happens to the temperature of the thermometer? Why?
Concept 2. Try the “Photon Absorption” tab at the top of the simulation. Observe the molecules carefully when they absorb photons (particles of
light). What happens?
Remember that most solar lights are in the vistole spectrum, our when the lights absorbed and re emitted from the barth, fis in infrared light, which is

This is an energy absorption by light. Most visible light (typical sun’s light) is not absorbed by molecules in the air. The molecules interact strongly with
infrared light. When a molecule absorbs a light particle (photon), the molecule vibrates, which increases its kinetic energy. Keep in mind that energy cannot
be destroved. but it just changes its form
Explanation: Light consists of various colors. Some are visible. and most are not visible. When the sunlight comes to the Earth, the light passes through the
air without any interaction so that the sunlight eneroy comes to the surface of the ground. The ground re-emits its eneroy mostly in infrared light invisible
Once the light interacts with the air, some of the light goes back to the ground. so the
ground absorbs the light again, which increases the temperature of the Barth’s surface. If the air contains a lot of CO or CH (mostly by pollution), we
have very hot days causing “Global Warming
