Is it Getting Hot in Here? Investigate the Greenhouse Effect

Post by deleted-572656 »

When recreating this project we are having problems with the thermometers used. Already two have exploded. The one placed inside the greenhouse explodes. We live in Florida, USA. Any recommendations? :shock:

The project requires a scientific thermometer (like the one linked in the materials). This kind of thermometer would go up to more than 250 degrees F.

What temperatures have you been recording?

A regular thermometer would not work for this experiment, which may be the problem you are having.
