Hurumanu - Science: Solar Energy...

Solar Energy

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

Hypothesis:

I think that what will happen with solar energy's or what will happen with one...

Hypothesis meaning... It means to guess something... but out of the information you already have...

I think that the black covered cup will heat up the most because of how the heat will or can get threw the black paper but also make the heat stay inside of the surrounding black paper... 

Materials:

1.  Three Plastic Cups...
2.  Tin Foil...
3. Black paper... 
4.  White paper...
5.  Water...
6. Heat lamp...

Steps

1. Collect The Materials...
2.  Pour the water into the three cups...
3.  Wrap one Foam Cup in tin foil...
4.  Wrap the others in the other materials... Black plastic...
5. Put the materials of the cup, under the cup...
6. Put the water into all three cups...
7.   set the heat lamp up so that it can reach all three cups...

Findings:

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16 Degrees	16 Degrees	16 Degrees
15	18D	19D	17D
30	21D	25D	23D
45	24D	26D	25D

This is basically what we have done with the experiment...

The cups will absorb the heat from the heat lamp,

So that the water warms up...

Conclusion

I have learned to make a heat lamp for solar power or...
To make water heat up and to see what cup will heat up the fastest with a different material surrounding the cup, I have learned about what the solar energy can do to different.
