What effect does adding CO2 and water vapor have on air temperature?
Description
One of our traditional workshop kits available for teachers to borrow.
Your VEEP/NHEEP educator will supply you with a lesson plan and personalized support as you use this equipment.
Students develop their understanding of factors that have caused a rise in global temperatures over the past century with emphasis on the major role that human activities play. Students test and compare bottle models of two “Earths” — one with room air and one with added CO2 and water vapor — to collect evidence and formulate a claim about the relationship between greenhouse gases and Earth’s average air temperature, then participate in a scientist meeting to discuss their claims and add to their understanding of the effects of greenhouse gases.
What’s in the kit?
Kit includes: bottles to model earth, plastic flasks, tubing, rubber stoppers, thermometers, heat lamps, extension cords.
Kit size: 2 totes
TIME COMMITMENT: 1-3 CLASS PERIODS
