R
Explore Global Warming S Will Global Warming affect the Piping Plover's life? S How do increased CO2 levels affect plant growth? R R Investigate the greenhouse effect. R S Find out if plants affect the temperature in a sealed box. R Find out which object (Styrofoam, vinyl material, cotton material, newspaper, or cardboard), has more harmful elements, (ash and smoke) to the atmosphere when it is burnt. R Build two solar hot boxes and conduct solar thermal experiments that demonstrate the greenhouse effect. R Interdisciplinary Topic: Weather What is Global Warming? What is the Greenhouse Effect? |

How Much Can Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
R
Research Global Warming S How Does Carbon Dioxide Affect Air's Rate of Temperature Change? R The impact of diatoms on global warming. S Explore the effects of urban heat islands on cities and global warming. S Find out how extra carbon dioxide affects growing locoweed (Astragalus laynae). R Determine if different amounts of carbon dioxide in the air affect the amount of heat retained in the air. R Determine if there is a difference in the amount of carbon dioxide in car exhaust emitted from the use of the 3 different gas grades to find which gas grade people should use to emit the least carbon dioxide possible as the problem of global warming becomes more severe. R Does Carbon Dioxide Contribute to the Runaway Greenhouse Effect? S What Is the Best Way to Reduce Fuel Use in Our Community? R Determine if global warming is affecting the number of Giant Green (northern species) and Sunburst (southern species) sea anemones. R Show which gases absorb the most amount of energy and show if global warming is possible. R What amount of carbon dioxide affects temperature change in the atmosphere? R S Determine if the absence of silicate or iron has a great restriction to diatoms (plankton) uptake of CO2 and thus hinder a viable solution to global warming. R R Build and demonstrate a clean energy model boat powered by the chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar. S Test different products of insulation for houses, factories, or buildings in order to reduce pollution. S Investigate different fossil and alternative fuels and their effect on the ozone layer R S Why hydrogen cars? S Which vegetable oil biodiesel is an effective substitute for diesel fuel? S Determine the effect of organic pesticides on ladybugs. S Determine what natural pesticide is most effective against crickets. S What is climate change and how it can affect our lives?

Which U.S. Cities Contribute Most to Global Warming?
R
Managing Greenhouse Gas Exchange in a Constructed Wetland S A Study of the Sea Anemone Anthopleura sola as an Indicator of Global Warming in Northern California Rocky Intertidal R Impact of Elevated CO(2) Atmosphere on Germination of Jasper Ridge Plants R R Investigate the role of soil microbes in global warming. R Determine if increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would cause increases in temperature. R Compare the amounts of Carbon Dioxide in four common gas sources (human exhalation, ambient air, pure carbon dioxide, and automobile exhaust). R The Effects of Peat and Water Content on CO2 and CH4 Emissions R S Bringing the Greenhouse effect down to earth: Compare the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases. R What are hybrid cars? S The connection between fire, soil, & CO2 emission levels. S Does global warming affect bacterial bleaching of coral?
