Aim: To find out which color attracts the sun's heat.

Hypothesis: I think that the color black attracts the most heat because it absorbs everything coming in from the sun is the darkest color.

Materials:

1.  tin foil 
2. black plastic  
3.  clear cup
4.  white cups x2
5. paper
6. heat lamp
7. hot mixing  

Steps

1. get one plastic cup with tin foil on it   
2.  one clear cup and one normal cup
3.  find a plug for the heat lamp
4.  put water in the cup every 
5.   every 15 mins check how hot the water is.
6. 
   

Findings: 

ConclusionToday we did a Science experiment,First we got all of our stuff and brought it to a table we set it all up, the teachers put the water in the cups And then we waited a few minutes and we tested what the water temperature was in each cup. 

This photo shows that we set up the cups and just put water in them. We were unfortunate enough that we did not get the heat lamp before everybody else we did not have one spare for us so we copy it off other people's findings are what their temperatures were. The unique aim of this experiment was to see what attracted the most heat the colors were silver black and white from our findings black attracted the most heat and then silver than white.
