__Purpose__ - why are we doing this lab? (in sentences please) __Hypothesis__ - what do you think will happen? (in sentences please) __Materials__ - list, in point form, ALL of the materials (and numbers of each) that we used, be sure to include "3 retort stands" and "3 sixty Watt light bulbs" __Observations__ - temperatures in degrees F taken at 0 minutes (initial), 2 min,, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min, 10 min (you may list the numbers or make a chart) (Black) (Green) (White) __Conclusion -__ What happened? (do not relate this to the environment, just describe (in sentences) which colour heated up the most and which the least - compare initial readings to final readings and state the temperature change) __Analysis -__ How does this relate to the environment and albedo? Be sure to state (in sentences) what each colour represents in nature and how this lab models albedo and the human effect on albedo.

The Greenhouse effect Lab

__**GHG Lab Results:**__ * Please note, we had a "faulty" thermometer to start in our GHG flask (the first 6 readings are not accurate, please plot them none-the-less, the last 6 reading are accurate and you will see the trend that we predicted. All readings for our control are accurate) The first reading is the initial (at time 0 minutes), the second reading is at 1 minute, then the remainder are every 2 minutes so the total elapsed time is 21 minutes, or 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11...21)
