Spheres of Earth Hands-on Lab Report
Instructions: In the Spheres of Earth Hands-on, you created terrariums. Record your observations in the lab report below. You will submit your completed report.

Name and Title:
Include your name, instructor's name, date, and name of lab.


Objective(s):
In your own words, what was the purpose of the lab?


Hypothesis:
In this section, please include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.


Procedure:
Since the procedures are listed in your lab, you do not need to repeat them here. However, explain the materials you chose, write a short summary of what you did, and note if you experienced any errors or other factors that might affect your outcome.

Be sure to identify the test (independent) and outcome (dependent) variables.


Data:
On each day of your investigation, record your observations for both terrariums. Do not lift the lid. Lifting the lid could alter the results.

Day One (starting levels) Container One Container Two
Water Level of Lake

(as measured from the bottom of the terrarium to the top of the water)
Condensation on Lid

(present or not present)
Soil

(Does it look wet, moist, or dry?)
Day Two Container One Container Two
Water Level of Lake

(as measured from the bottom of the terrarium to the top of the water)
Condensation on Lid

(present or not present)
Soil

(Does it look wet, moist, or dry?)
Day Three Container One Container Two
Water Level of Lake

(as measured from the bottom of the terrarium to the top of the water)
Condensation on Lid

(present or not present)
Soil

(Does it look wet, moist, or dry?)
Data Analysis:
Use your data to answer the following questions. Use complete sentences, and be as detailed as possible.

How is the water level different for container one versus container two?
If water evaporated in at least one container, where did it go?
If condensation is present on at least one lid, how did it get there?
How is the soil different for container one versus container two?

Conclusion:
Use your data to answer the following questions. Use complete sentences, and be as detailed as possible.

Describe how the test variable you chose affected the water level in your terrarium.
Was your hypothesis supported by your results or not? Explain how you know.
If you were to repeat this experiment, what would you change?
Based on the test variable you chose, explain a similar condition in the real world and its possible effect. (For example, if the test variable was less water than normal, this would be like a drought in the real world.)
List the five spheres of Earth. Which of them were represented in your terrarium? Explain how they interacted in your model

Answer:

Name and Title: (Use your name, though)

Camila, Mr Diaz, 10/21/22 (you can make a lab name up; I chose this one) Expirimen2

Objective(s):

• To see what is the effect on the lake during the experiment

Hypothesis:

If I put the plastic Lid on one of them, one will have more wet soil than the other because the sun will absorb the water from the container without the Lid.

Procedure:

The materials that I used were:

Small pebbles, Soil, Water, Daisies, Plastic Lid, Two similar containers, and grass.

A problem I encountered was that when I started the project, I misunderstood the instructions and had to start all over again. After that, I put it next to the window and watched it for three days, there was one day I missed, so I had to put the original amount of water again to be able to watch it and record it (so once again, I had to start all over).

Data:

On each day of your investigation, record your observations for both terrariums. Do not lift the Lid. Lifting the Lid could alter the results.

Day One (starting levels)

Water Level of the Lake 
(as measured from the bottom of the terrarium to the top of the water)

Container One: 2in 6cm

Container Two: 2in 6cm

Condensation on Lid 
(present or not present)

Container One: Not present

Container Two: Not present

Soil 
(Does it look wet, moist, or dry?)

Container One: Wet

Container Two: Wet

Day Two

Water Level of the Lake 
(as measured from the bottom of the terrarium to the top of the water)

Container One: 2in

Container Two: 2in 6cm

Condensation on Lid 
(present or not present)

Container One: Not present

Container Two: Present

Soil 
(Does it look wet, moist, or dry?)

Container One: Moist

Container Two: Wet

Day Three

Water Level of the Lake 
(as measured from the bottom of the terrarium to the top of the water)

Container One: 1in 8cm

Container Two: 2in 6cm

Condensation on Lid 
(present or not present)

Container One: Not present

Container Two: Present

Soil 
(Does it look wet, moist, or dry?)

Container One: Moist

Container Two: Wet

Data Analysis:

Use your data to answer the following questions. Use complete sentences, and be as detailed as possible.

How is the water level different for container one versus container two?

In the first container, it is going down slowly doesn’t it doesn’t have a lid to keep the water inside, while the other one isn’t changing at all.

If water evaporated in at least one container, where did it go?

It turned into vapour, and it is still roaming around the house because we didn’t open the door, but if we had, it would have gone outside, and it would have joined other vapours and turned into a cloud.

If condensation is present on at least one Lid, how did it get there?

It got there by evaporation. However, because it has a lid, it can’t get out; it will eventually turn back into water on the Lid, drip back down, and start over again.

How is the soil different for container one versus container two?

In the first container, the soil was moist all the time because there was an equal balance with all the spheres, and it included every single sphere in the model, while the second container had wet soil because it was missing the Atmosphere because of the Lid.

Conclusion:

Use your data to answer the following questions. Use complete sentences, and be as detailed as possible.

Describe how the test variable you chose affected the water level in your terrarium.

In the first container, the environment was more stable because there was an equal balance with all the spheres, which included every sphere in the model. In contrast, the second container was less durable because it was missing the Atmosphere because of the topic.

Was your hypothesis supported by your results or not? Explain how you know.

Yes, because every day I recorded it, container two (the one with the Lid) had wet, while container one (the one without the Lid) had moist.

If you were to repeat this experiment, what would you change?

I don’t think I would change anything, sure, one container was better than the other, but that helped me learn that the spheres are better together.

Explain a similar condition in the real world and its possible effect based on the test variable you chose. (For example, if the test variable were less water than usual, this would be like a drought in the real world.)

It would be like today’s biosphere without the Atmosphere (they wouldn’t be able to survive without each other.

List the five spheres of Earth. Which of them were represented in your terrarium? Explain how they interacted in your model.

1. Atmosphere 2. Biosphere 3. Hydrosphere 4. Geosphere 5. Cryosphere

I used Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Geosphere for container one, but for container two, I used Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Geosphere. I didn’t use Atmosphere because the top Lid didn’t let air enter the container.

Please Mark Me Braliest!!!

Answer:

Name: Put your name, teachers name, date, and Spheres of Earth Hands on Lab Report.

Objective: To demonstrate nature in a small environment.

Hypothesis: If I kept my terrariums in the dark, then the water level will stay the same.

Procedure: I got a container for my terrarium and put in things that would normally be on Earth like plants, rocks, and water. My terrarium was perfect and looked cool.

Data:

Day 1: 3 inches

Soil: present, mostly dry.

Day 2: 2.9 inches

Soil: present, moist

Day 3: 2.5 inches

Soil: present, wet

The water level was similar in both terrariums. Some of the water evaporated each day. There was water dropplets on the lids. The soil was getting wetter as more days passed due to humidity. My hypothesis was correct because less exposure to sunlight decreases evaporation. If I was to repeat the experiment, I would use a darker place and make my observations more accurate. In real life, in caves it is very dark so there is very little humidity.

Soil, water, plants, sunlight, and sediment.
