Title	Solar Energy
Aim	To see what colour attracts more sun heat.
Hypothesis	I think the colour silver will attract the sun.
Materials	white paper white cup  black plastic 1 clear cups Black plastic cover tin foil   Cup covered in tin foil heat lamp  100ml cup of water Thermometer  Timer
Steps	Collect all of the materials  Put the white paper on the table Put the white cup on top of the paper Put black plastic on the table next to the white paper  Put the cup on the black plastic cover  Put the clear cup in the centre of the plastic Put the tin foil next to the black plastic  Cover the clear cup with tin foil Put the heat lamp in front of the cups
Data/Findings	Time  Cup 1 White Cup 2 Black Cup 3 Tinfoil 0 16 degrees  16 degrees  16 degrees  15 19.1 degrees  19 degrees  20 degrees  30 25 degrees  27 degrees  26 degrees  45 20 degrees  24.5 degrees  22.5 degrees  The first 15 min the temperature of the white cup is 19.1 degrees.  The next 30 mins the temperature of the black cup is 19 degrees. On the 40 mins timer, the temperature of the tinfoil cup is 20 degree.
Conclusion	In conclusion, my findings in this experiment state that the colour attracts the heat more. The colour white attracts less heat. We found out that solar panels are coloured black because black attracts more heat. In other hot countries, they don’t paint their houses black because they don’t want to be hot, so they paint their houses white.
