Climate Chaos - Solar Power

Aim: To learn about how solar energy is used.

Hypothesis -

I think that black would attract the most heat rather than white or silver.

Materials -

1. White cup x 2
2. Clear cup
3. Black plastic
4. Tinfoil 
5. Paper
6. Water
7. Thermometer
8. Heat lamp

Steps -

1. Grab all of your equipment from your teacher.
2. Keep one of the white cups on the side because that will be your white color for this experiment.
3. Mold some tinfoil onto the other while cup to create your silver cup.
4. Cut along the top of your plastic bag so both ends are open and fit around your clear cup.
5. Pour some water in each cup making sure it is around 1/4 full.
6. Turn on your heat lamp making it face all of the cups so the experiment has the correct results.
7. Test your water in each cup every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes making sure to leave the thermometer out long enough to get the right temperature in each cup.
