Make your own miniature greenhouse and measure the light levels at different “times of day”—modeled by changing the angle of a lamp on the greenhouse—using a light sensor. Next, investigate the temperature in your greenhouse with and without a cover. Learn how a greenhouse works and how you can regulate the temperature in your model greenhouse.
