    This document describes an experiment to test if some colors absorb more sunlight than others. Students will fill four clear glasses with the same amount of water and measure the initial temperature. They will then add different food coloring - red, yellow, or blue - to three glasses and leave the fourth plain. After 15 minutes in sunlight, they will measure the temperature of each glass again to see if any warmed more than others due to absorbing more sunlight. The results will help students learn whether some colors absorb sunlight more than others.

    Some colors absorb more sunlight than others.

    Materials:
    Four tall clear glasses
    Water
    Food coloring
    Immersion thermometer

    Procedure:
    1. Fill the glasses with the same amount of cold water. Record the tempera-
    ture of the water.
    2. Add 20 drops of red food coloring to one glass, 20 drops of yellow to one
    glass, and 20 drops of blue to one glass.
    3. Place all four glasses in a sunny place for 15 minutes.
    4. Record the temperature of the water in all four glasses.

    Analysis and Conclusion:


    Did the temperature of the water change? Which water got warmest? What did
    you learn about colors and light?
