 Solar Water Heater-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question-

 

If we use black plastic instead of white to use as a inner coat of the container and put water in it will the black plastic heat faster than white? Covered or uncovered?

 

Hypothesis-

 

I think...If the black water heater is in the sun it will then heat the fastest.

 

Results-

 

The covered black solar water heater increased four degrees, which was the highest.

  

Conclusion-

 

 The black covered water heaters heat water the fastest.

 

Changes for next Time-

 

You could make a funnel shape water heater instead of what we used. I think the funnel shaped water heater would heat the fastest  because it might attract more light. 

 

 

New Questions-

 

Would it work better if you had a funnel shape?
