solar water heater blog entry


default

Question:

WILL WATER HEAT UP FASTER IN HOT OR COLD WATER? WILL A TRANSLUCENT CAP MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Hypothesis:

IF BLACK COVERED HEATS IT UP FASTER THEN WHITE COVERED HEATS IT UP SLOWER. THE SAME FOR THE UNCOVERED.

 

Procedure:

I MAKE A WHITE UNCOVERED SOLAR WATER HEATER AND PUT A THERMOMETER IN IT. THEN I RECORD THE TEMP. EVERY 5 MINUTES. THEN I FIND THE PATTERN.

Materials:

A PLASTIC CONTAINER, TAPE, BLACK OR WHITE PLASTIC, THERMOMETER, AND/OR CAP W/ SLIT, TEST RECORDING SHEET, AND A SUNNY DAY
