SCI 207: Our Dependence Upon the Environment
Climate Change lab
Introduction
A lot of people have investigated climate change over the years. Climate change expresses a
shift in the typical environments like rainfall and temperature in an area over an extended
period (Climate kids, 2021). I live in the Midwest, where the weather can change from cold
and
snowing one day to 65 to 70 degrees the next. We must understand the importance of how
climate change works and the things we can do to help keep our climate in the atmosphere
from changing to where it is inhabitable for us. Affect environment has A lot of effects on
how we grow our food, the water we drink, and the places we reside. This lab is to see how
gas inside the earth's ozone can absorb heat and its effects on the surface of the planet. Inside
this lab, we will offer an idea of the different Ways solar light impacts the earth. Inside this
lab, you will get an idea of how solar light affects sea levels, water heaters, and the facts on
land glaciers and sea ice.
Activity 1:
Earth heat with no atmosphere versus earth heat with an atmosphere that gets
hotter. Hypothesis:
For my first activity, I believe the version of the earth with an atmosphere will be much
colder than the earth without an atmosphere.
Activity 2:
Which will retain heat, open ocean or sea ice?
, Hypothe
sis:
I hypothesize in my second activity that the ocean water will heat faster than the ice can
melt back into the water. It will take a longer time for the ice to melt back into water and
then into gas.
Activit
y 3:
Will the ice glacier from land raise the sea level when melted, or sea ice increases the
ocean levels when melted.
Hypothe
sis:
I hypothesize for activity three that the island ice glacier will melt and cause the sea level to
rise, and the sea ice will melt but keep sea levels the same.

ds
The material used for this exercise was our online Carolina lab for climate control. We use
different activities in lab assimilations to insinuate climate change from how solar arrays
affect the atmosphere and water levels—using digital graphs to mark the reactions from
sunlight on earth and its effects on island ice and sea ice.
