Lab: Absorption and Radiation by Land and
Water - Assignment: 2023-2024 GRADED A+
In this lab, you examined factors that influence the absorption of energy
from ___. You investigated how the ___ of material and the angle of ___
affect the absorption of heat. Finally, you looked at the result of temperature
differences on Earth's surface - correct answers ✅The Sun
Type
Insolation
(Effect of type of material) Which is the independent variable in this
experiment? - correct answers ✅Type of material
(Effect of type of material) Which is the dependent variable in this
experiment? - correct answers ✅Temperature of material
(Effect of type of material) Which is a controlled variable in this experiment?
- correct answers ✅Amount of heat materials received
Which order shows the materials having the highest to lowest temperature
after 15 minutes of being under the lamps?
A. Air, soil, sand, water
, Lab: Absorption and Radiation by Land and
Water - Assignment: 2023-2024 GRADED A+
B. Sand, air, water, soil
C. Soil, water, air, sand
D. Water, sand, soil, air - correct answers ✅A. Air, soil, sand, water
What conclusion can be made based on the temperatures of soil, sand,
water, and air in Section 1 of the experiment? Did your results support your
hypothesis? Why or why not? - correct answers ✅I can conclude that the
type of material affects the absorption of sunlight on Earth's surface because
different materials absorb heat from sunlight at different rates. The results
support my hypothesis because the results show that air absorbs heat faster
than any of the materials. Soil absorbs heat faster than sand, which absorbs
heat faster than water.
(Effect of angle of insolation) Which is the independent variable in this
experiment? - correct answers ✅Angle of light
(Effect of angle of insolation) Which is the dependent variable in this
experiment? - correct answers ✅Temperature of material
