Activity 1- We measured the heat absorbed by three of the different materials in pie pans. The materials that we used were dirt water and sand. My results were as i expected. The water raised and fell in temperature the slowest. The sand and the dirt were pretty equal. They both absorbed the heat and cooled off pretty quick.
Activity 4- We measured the heat inside 3 different atmospheres. They all had different environmental qualities to them each doing something else. The bottle was the "atmosphere" the paint was the clouds, and the water was the "ocean or lake". Although our bottle had all 3 of these the temperature barely fluctuated at all. At first the temperature inside rose at a steady pace upwards, but halfway through it stopped making no change at all. I figured the temperature would rise inside because it was being baked by the light but due to the "clouds" the light was reflected.
Then activities show the earths climate, even though it is different in the actual breakdown of climate effects. Overall small variables = small results. My climate topic is tropical storms which would be very hard to do in a lab due to the wind and rain required to be an actual storm. I would have no idea how to even test this besides maybe using a fan as the strong winds and having water inside a bottle be waves caused by the storm.
