Solar Energy


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

Hypothesis: I think that the colour black attracts the most heat because it absorbs everything coming in from the sun and the darkest colour. 

Materials:

  1.  1 white piece of paper
  2.  1 black rubbish bag
  3.  1 piece of tinfoil that is flat
  4.  1 foam cup 
  5.  1 plastic cup covered with a black rubbish bag
  6. 1 plastic cup covered in tinfoil around it
  7. 1 thermometer

Steps

  1.   Go to the teacher and get the material
  2. Get plastic cup with tinfoil on it
  3.  get a foam cup and a clear cup
  4.  find a place to plug your heat lamp in
  5.  full all of your cups up 
  6.   get a thermometer and cheek the temputer every 15 minutes

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.

Conclusion Today in science we did an experiment, first, we got all of our stuff that we needed
