Modeling the Greenhouse Effect Aim: The aim behind this experiment is to investigate the consequences of greenhouse gases by recording and comparing the change in temperature every 3 minutes of a flask filled with CO₂ in comparison to a flask filled with air. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to impersonate the greenhouse affect in our own lab by comparing and measuring the temperatures of greenhouse gases CO₂ compared to air. The experiment will recognize the difference
