Solar energy

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

Hypothesis : I think that the black cup will attract the most sun light/heat because when you wear black clothes you get really hot because it attracts sun so I think that the black cup will attract the most heat. I think the white will be the coldest cup because white dosen’t often attract much sun.

Material

1. White paper
2. White cup
3. Black piece of plastic
4. 1 clear cup 
5. Black plastic cover
6. Tin foil
7. Cardboard
8. Heat lamp
9. 100ml cup of water in each cup
10. Thermometer
11. Timer

Steps

1.   Get the materials 
2.  put the tin foil inside a cup and also put black paper around another cup. 
3.  Put water inside all of the 3 cups.
4.  shine the  light onto all 3 of the cups.
5.   wait for 15 minutes then put a thermometer inside all 3  cups and see the tempter.
6. Record the tempter 
7.  wait another 30 minutes then see the results after that.
8. record the tempter 
9.  then wait 45 minutes and then see  the results after that.
10. record the tempter

Findings:

1. In this photo is our three cups with the heat lamp facing them.

2.  Layed out of the square pieces of material and they are heating up in front of the head lamp. 

1. We found out that the balck cup did in fact get the hottest/attract the most sun head/light.

 

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil

15	18	19	19
30	19	24	20
45	20	23	20

Conclusion:  In conclusion my findings in this experiment state that the black cup attracts the most sun and heat. I knew this from the start as I know it is one of the main colors that attracts the sun. I also knew that white would be the coldest cup as white doesn't attract much sun at all.
