Activity One

Hello to everyone who reads the blogs posted by my science class. yesterday we did a lab on temperature and direct heat on things. we are supposed to relate the lab with our topic. in case you haven't noticed my topic is global warming. i am not sure what exactly we are supposed to write so i am just going to wing this. i believe that the lab relates to my topic since direct heat is a part of global warming. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation. In our lab we had to have a lamp hovering over top of 3 substances, dark soil, water, and snow (yes we still have snow :( it needs to go away, it is spring already). According to the definition of global warming it's the warming of the oceans which is like our warming of our water (which didn't change at all, but you get the idea). from what i have learned is that it takes longer for water to heat up because their is so much more area to heat. so that is why the water never fluctuated. so i this is what i learned and i hope this is enough for Mrs. Grivins (the only person that i know will read this). THINK GREEN!!!
Have a good day everybody
