Aim: To find out which color attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis: I think that black attracts heat because sunlight does not reflect off it

1.  Tin Foil
2.  Black Paper
3.  White paper
4.  Heater
5. Water 
6. Thermometer
7. cup

Steps

1. Place the different materials evenly so the heat waves would be separated to heat all waters at once
2. Cover the cups with the different papers  (etc Tin foil, Black Paper, White Paper)
3.  On the heater to apply from that direction
4.  Keep the thermometer on so you know what the recordings

Findings:

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16	16	16
15	18	19	17
30	21	25	23
45	24	26	25

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that I was intrigued to know what colour attracts the sunlight the most.  As my Hypothesis states I was correct.  Today I have proven the fact that black does indeed attract more sunlight or heat.
