Solar Energy 

Aim: To learn about how solar energy is used.

Hypothesis: I think that black is going to attract the heat.

Materials:

1 ; Heat Lamp

2 ; White Paper

3 ; White Cup

4 ; Clear Cup

5 ; Black Plastic

6 ; Tinfoil

7 ; Thermometer

8 ; Water

Steps:

1 ; Gather your materials. 

2 ; Cover one of the white cups with tinfoil and place it on a tinfoil sheet, Cover the clear cup with black plastic and place it onto a black plastic sheet. Lastly, with the other white cup place it onto the white paper

3 ; Cover one of your cups with tinfoil.
4 ; Place the cup with tinfoil on a sheet of tinfoil

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16 Degrees	16 Degrees	16 Degrees
15	19 Degrees	21 Degrees	21 Degrees
30	20 Degrees	22 Degrees	20 Degrees
45	20 Degrees	24 Degrees	21 Degrees

Activity:

In pairs rate the livability of coal vs solar energy.

Comparing Coal energy with Solar energy ( Rate; 1 = poor to 10 = great)

Factor	Solar	Coal
Livability	10	4
Sustainability	10	2
Accessibility	10	3
Cost	9	5
Your choice...	10	2

Conclusion:

1. Solar power is more sustainable than coal is.
2. Sun, wind & water are all renewable energy.
3. The colour black attracts sun & heat.
