How would I do a science project about global warming and the effects it has on our planet?

Question

I thought about it, but I have no idea how to do it. Can you help me?

Answer 2

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 3

There are quite a few online resources that can help you with a science project, including projects on global warming.  Here are a few that should be useful.  Best of luck with it.

Answer 4

I think you should show how pollutants are creating a whole in our ozone, so the UV rays are getting through.

The whole in the ozone is mainly over Antarctica... because winds have pushed the pollutants down there.

And it actually takes years for them to rise up and start eating through the atmosphere

man, I just learned about this in Science a few days ago but can't remember what the name of the thing is that is eating through the ozone... ><

I know that it's in hairspray, microwaves, and fridges... in some countries it's illegal to use it in them

(so they are being made without them now in those countries)

The Ozone absorbs harmful radiation from the sun - but because of the hole in it, some harmful rays are coming through. If the Ozone were to completely disappear, then all those harmful UV rays would get through :(

I'm sorry again... I hope this helps some ><

Answer 5

You could some rocks and put it in a box. Then fill the box with dead animals and plants. Tell the class that with out global warming, this is what the earth would look like.

Answer 6

well. you can research about it online. there are a lot of sources you can find and write about.

basically global warming is made up of carbon dioxide, methane and carbon monoxide.
