The Greenhouse Effect hands on activity for middle schoolers

Description

Middle school students learn about how the greenhouse effect can affect the temperature of the environment. Encourage students to ask questions about the ways that humans impact the environment by making a model. Use a low prep controlled experiment to compare the temperatures in two containers – one with a plastic covering preventing heat from escaping and one without a cover.

This resource includes:

• 1 page explanation of the greenhouse effect
• step by step procedure to conduct the experiment
• data table and graph to analyze data
• analysis questions
• suggested answer key
