What is the purpose of building the greenhouses in the experiment?

• To grow plants in a controlled environment.

• To create a model of the Earth's atmosphere.

• To measure the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

• To test the effect of different greenhouse gases on ice melting.

Why did they decide to use ice sculptures instead of just ice?

• Because they needed identical shapes for accurate results.

• Because ice sculptures are easier to measure.

• Because they wanted to make the experiment more visually appealing.

• Because ice sculptures melt faster.

What material did they use to cover the greenhouses to ensure light gets in but gases don't get out?

• Aluminum foil

• Plastic

• Glass

• Mylar

What is the role of the CNC machine in the experiment?

• To control the light entering the greenhouses.

• To monitor the levels of greenhouse gases.

• To create identical ice sculptures.

• To measure the temperature inside the greenhouses.

What is the significance of painting the back of the greenhouses black?

• To prevent heat from escaping.

• To reflect sunlight.

• To absorb more heat and light.

• To make them look aesthetically pleasing.
