Green House Effect
From UO Physics Demonstration Catalog
A fish tank is separated into two chambers separated by a thermal insulator. One side is covered with a piece of glass and the other is left open. A bright light above heats up the tank. The Chamber with the glass heats up to a higher temperature than the open chamber. Likewise, it cools down slower than the other chamber when the light source is removed.
OTHER METHOD: Dry Ice vapor is piped into the bottom of one side of the tank, filling the tank with CO2. . The CO@ side will heat up faster than the air side. A wire mesh onto tries to limit convection Thermometers are placed in the tank . The side with the CO2 will heat up faster . ( Technically, CO2 has lower specific heat, so it is heating up for various reasons., but give the idea.
