CHALLENGE

Define the Problem
Greenhouses are buildings designed to protect vegetables and other
plants during cold seasons. They are built using glass or plastic, which
trap radiation from the sun and increase the temperature inside the
greenhouse. Your task is to design and build an effective greenhouse
model for a small plant.

Constraints: Your model must be able to hold a small plant.

Criteria: The internal temperature of your model greenhouse
must be higher than the starting temperature after 20 minutes
under a light source. 28
