Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which colour attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis: I think that the black will attract the most heat because t is the darkest and I think that it will keep the heat inside the top so it burns hotter and hotter.

Materials:

1. 1 white paper
2. 1 black rubbish bag
3. 1 silver tinfoil 
4. 1 white foam cup 
5. 1 plastic cup covered with a black rubbish bag 
6. 1 plastic cup with tinfoil wrapped around it 
7. 1 thermometer
8. 1 lamp

Steps

1.  Go to the teacher to get the materials 
2.  then go find a spot near a power plug.
3.  set up the equipment at the table
4.  turn on the light 
5.  wait for teachers to pour water 
6.  then get the thermometer from teacher
7. test the water in the cup after 15 minutes

Findings: these photos are from the experiment that I was doing. The experiment is called solar energy we had to get in a group of 3-4 so we could do the experiment we had to get the materials that we needed to start and finish the experiment we had to record the experiment work that we have done. 

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16	16	16
15	20	25	19
30	20	35	20
45	20	45	20

Conclusion: Today in science we have been doing an experiment about solar power we need to use a thermometer to record the water in the cups and then wait till it is done. we had to all of the materials from the teacher so we can set it up and get ready for the experiment.
