Student Exploration: Greenhouse Effect
Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts
in the orange boxes. Open the Gizmos simulation “Greenhouse Effect” to answer the questions.
Vocabulary: global warming, greenhouse effect, greenhouse gas, heat flow
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. What do you notice when you get into a car that has I notice that the car is very hot (hotter than the
been sitting in the Sun for a while? air outside of the car) and that the seats and
steering wheel are very hot
2. Why is the inside of the car so hot? Because the heat is trapped inside of the car
and has nowhere to go
3. How would things be different if the car’s windows The heat would have a place to go making the
were left open? car slightly cooler
Gizmo Warm-up
Like the windows of a car, greenhouse gases play a major role in
regulating Earth’s climate. Without the gases that trap heat in Earth’s
atmosphere, Earth would be a frigid desert like Mars (average
temperature -55°C, or -67°F). Too much greenhouse gas and Earth
could be a fiery inferno like Venus (average temperature 450°C, or
850°F).
On the Greenhouse Effect Gizmo, set the Greenhouse gases to 0%
and the Simulation speed to fast.
1. Click Play ( ) and view the BAR CHART tab. The temperature will go up and down every day, but try to
look at the overall trend. What happens to the temperature over time?
The heat out stays the same, the heat varies by 0-60 and the temp stays around the same
time
2. Now set the Greenhouse gases to 100% and let the simulation run for a while. How does a maximum
amount of greenhouse gas affect the temperature?
The Temperature goes up everyday by a significant amount

, Get the Gizmo ready:
Activity A:
● Click Reset ( ).
Heat in, heat out ● Set Simulation speed to slow.
● Be sure the Greenhouse gases level is 10%.
Question: How do greenhouse gases affect Earth’s climate?
1. Observe: Select the BAR CHART tab and click Play. After about 24 simulated hours, click Pause ( ). What
do you notice about the heat flow into and out of Earth’s atmosphere?
The heat flow depends on the sun rising and when it sets
2. Analyze: Select the TABLE tab.
A. At what time of day is heat flow into the Noon is when the heat flow is the
atmosphere (Hin) greatest? greatest
B. At what time of day is heat flow into the 12am
atmosphere (Hin) least?
C. Does heat flow out of the atmosphere (Hout) No it does not
change during the day?
D. At what time of day is the surface Highest:12:00pm
temperature highest? Lowest? Lowest:12:00am
3. Predict: Click Reset. When you change the amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which factor(s)
do you expect to change? (Highlight which of the 3 factors below may change)
A. Heat flow in
B. Heat flow out
C. Temperature
4. Experiment: Select the BAR CHART tab, and click Play. While the simulation is playing, move the
Greenhouse gasses slider back and forth. What do you notice?
When you increase the greenhouse gasses percentage, The heat that is flowing out of the
earth's atmosphere decreases the temperature increases with it. But when the Greenhouse
gasses percentage increases the heat flow out of the earth's atmosphere increases making
the temperature decrease
5. Experiment: Click Play, and this time observe the GRAPH tab as you change the Greenhouse gases. What
do you notice?
What i noticed is that the more i added greenhouse gasses to the environment the more the
graph showed the heat leaving the atmosphere going down
