Climate

The first expiriment we did was that testing the conductivity of different materials to heat. black soil conducted the most heat. i expected this result because of its color and density that it would absorb heat better than sand and water.

We measured the effects of heating the atmosphere in certain conditions and situations. we did get the rsult we expected the black dirt with clouds absorbed the most heat. this is because the clouds trapped the heat causeing it to grow warmer than the clear bottles where heat could escape from. the black soil was also a better and faster cionductor than the snad and the water it trapped the heat the best and the fastest.

Our small scale labs help us understand the earths atmosphere very well.It does this beacuse using bottle and paint as clouds and ozone we can accuratly and easily understand how our atmosphere heats up and stays warm. the dirt sand and water lab helps me understand why some areas of the world are warmer than others based on the ground they have. it has helped me understand that not all surfaces heat equally and different surfaces heat up faster tha others.
