1 Lab #4 Greenhouse Effect Flora, Brittney Ivy Tech Community College ASTR 101 – 1BP
2 Prediction Questions: 1P) My belief is that Jar 1 (covered) will melt faster because the plastic will trap the heat inside. 2P) The temperature will be warmer in one, in this experiment, it is the one that is covered. 7) Selfie of set up Due to having to restart, I used a lamp with a bright light to simulate the sun which worked just as well. (This lamp is known to get hot if facing towards something, which is why I used it).
3 8/9) Times Jar 1 Covered Jar 2 Uncovered 5 Minutes Same cool temperature, slight melting Same cool temperature 10 Minutes Ice begins melting and inside the jar is much warmer Ice is melting but at a much slower rate. 25 Minutes Ice is melting rapidly, while the temperature in the jar feels warmer than previously noted Ice is still slowly melting while the temperature inside is cool but nothing different than first noted. 34 Minutes Ice is almost completely melted, and the jar continues to be warm on the inside Ice continues to melt, and the temperature stays the same. 38 Minutes Ice is completely melted, and the jar remains warm inside The ice is now almost completely melted, the temp is still the same. Experiment Questions: 1. There was a difference in the time it took for the ice to melt in the glass. The ice in Jar 1 melted at a much faster rate than the one that was uncovered. I would say that there was a two- minute difference between them. 2. The experiment went as I expected, however, the ice melted in Jar 1 faster than I thought it would. 3. The covered jar allowed radian energy to collect in it and trap it, warming the jar at a higher rate. The exposed Jar enabled radiant energy to collect but also escape, although the warmth was restricted. 4/5. Greenhouse gases prevent radiant heat from leaving our atmosphere. The covered jar, similarly, illustrates the Greenhouse effect. The plastic wrap acts as greenhouse gasses, which trap radiant energy and warms the jar
