Solar Energy Template



Title

Solar Energy Experiment 

Aim

To see what colour it attracts more sun heat

Hypothesis

I think silver will attract the sun because it's the colour of metal
and metal always gets hot when it's in the sun.

Materials

1. White A4 Paper
2. Styrofoam Plastic cup
3. Black Plastic
4. Clear cup covered with Black plastic
5. Cup covered with Tin Foil
6. Thermometer 
7. Heat Lamp
8. 100mls water 
9. Timer

Steps

Step 1:
Collect Materials
Step 2:
Set up the cups
Step 3: 
Add 100mls water into each cup
Step 4:
Set up the Heat Lamp facing each cup
Step 5: 
Start recording the temperatures of the water

I found out that a Black Plastic Cup can attract more heat than a Styrofoam cup
and a Tin Foil Cup.  

Conclusion

In conclusion, my findings on this experiment state that
a cup covered with black plastic can attract more heat
than a Styrofoam cup and a Tin Foil cup.
I also found out that a styrofoam cup attracts less heat.
I think that the Solar panels colour is black because it attracts
more heat than any other colours.
