Hurumanu - Solar Energy

Hello everyone, today in science we are learning about solar energy and what its powers.

Solar Energy

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

Hypothesis: I think the colour that produces more energy is silver.

Solar energy powers:

1. Phones
2. Nasa Rover
3. Bikes
4. Small toys
5. T.V
6. R.C cars 
7. Lights
8. Outdoor speakers
9. Scooter 
10. Windmill 
11. Robots
12. Solar Panels 
13. Solar oven 
14. How water
15. Satellites
16. Cars

Materials:

1.  2 plastic cup
2.  1 styrofoam cup
3. 2 thin foil 
4.  2 black plastics
5.  1 white paper
6. heat lamp
7. Thermometer
8. water 

Steps

1. Get all the equipment you need.   
2.  Prepare the things you need for the experiments 
3.  Wait for the teacher to give you the water, heat lamp and thermometer
4.  Point the heat lamp to the three cups 
5. Record the temperature of the water on each cup using the thermometer/
6. Clean up your mess.
7. Do your blogs.

Findings:

This is the experiment looks like. On the left side is the styrofoam cup, on the centre is the plastic cup covered with black plastic and on the left side is the thin foil cup. The light that is shining on the picture is the heat lamp which produces the heat to the cups.

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0
15	17degree	17degree	17degree
30	17degree	22degree	18degree
45	18degree	22degree	18degree

Conclusion:

I found out that black cup is getting more heat than the other cup. 

Black cup 1st

Thin foil cup 2nd

White cup 3rd
