Carbon Dioxide Emissions
Ju Young – Arctic Ice Investigation ******************************************************************************************
Research Question:
How do greenhouse gas emissions give an impact to the Arctic sea ice?
Hypothesis:
1. A statement that predicts what will happen. Use the structure: ‘If…then…because…’
2. For the ‘because’ part you need to give scientific reasoning so after you have done your research, state in parentheses ( ) the author of the source that helped you decide on your hypothesis. [Remember to write the full source at the end in the Works Cited list.]
My prediction is that the Artic Ice will change state into water much more rapidly.
This is because the world’s emissions of greenhouse gases are increasing especially C02, which gives a big impact to the world climate to change. Since C02 is a greenhouse gas this means that when C02 exits the atmosphere some of it reflects back to earth, this changes the temperature inside the earth. The cause of this problem is that us humans produce to many gases. For example, we use factories, cars, burning coal and have a major use of oil production, which releases methane, C02, nitrous oxide etc. Which warms our atmosphere that acts like a blanket. Since the world is getting developed we will need more productions of fossil fuels, factories, electricity etc. it will release more greenhouse gases into the earth’s environment. Therefore, the Arctic ice will melt because of the increase of atmospheric C02. Furthermore, animals that live in cold climates can get extinct from our world. Such as polar bears, penguins, whales etc.
Observations and Raw Data:
1. Present observations in a logically designed table that is easy to read.
2. Give each table a detailed title that includes the independent variable and the dependent variable.
3. Each column heading should contain the name of the quantity being measured and the units of measurement.
Raw results Table:
20 years time period
