    Sun'S Energy As Source of Heat

    The document describes an experiment to examine how well the sun's energy can heat different materials. Students covered jars with black paper, aluminum foil, or nothing and filled them with water. They measured the temperature of the water in each jar over time. The black jar heated fastest, the bare jar slowest, and the foil-covered jar was in between. The differences can be explained by how well each material absorbs light energy from the sun. The experiment shows that color affects how much light energy an object absorbs and therefore how quickly it is heated.

    Objective: Examine how well the suns energy heat various objects
    Materials: 3 glasses or plastic cups, black construction paper,aluminum foil,3
    thermometers, pair of scissors, stop watch, stiff cardboard
    Procedure:
    a. Cut out three cardboard tops for the jar and make a hole in each lid large
    enough to hold a thermometer.
    b. Wrap one of the jars with black construction paper, the second with
    aluminum foil and leave the third jar as it is.
    c. Fill each jar with water and cover them with their lids. Carefully insert the
    thermometer through each lid. The bulb must be below the surface of water
    d. Record the thermometer reading of each jar every 3 minutes interval
    e. Make a graph featuring time and temperature.
    Data and Results: Make a graph or table to record observation
    Question for Analysis:
    1. Which of the jars heated the fastest? The slowest?
