Connection: Climate Labs
In Activity 1 we measured heat absorbed by 3 different materials. The materials were Dirt, Sand, and Water. Our results were normal and as expected. The water rose and fell in temperature the slowest. Dirt and sand were about equal both absorbed heat and cooling off fairly quickly.
For Activity 4, we had to measure the heat inside 3 different atmospheres.The atmospheres were in bottles with different environmental qualities added to them. The bottle played as the atmosphere, the paint was used clouds, and the water was used as itself. Our bottle consisted of dark soil. At the beginning it was pretty much the same and than about half way it went up slightly. I thought the temperature would rise inside because dark sand usually attracts light so i thought it would have kept rising.
These climate activities do show Earth's climate on a small scale fairly well. The big picture, however, is still way different in the actual breakdown of climate effects. Overall, small variables, small results. My climate topic in Straight-line winds, so i believe that it is impossible to examine it.
