The document outlines an experiment to determine which roofing material color keeps the interior of a house coolest. It hypothesizes that roof color affects house temperature. The experiment uses yellow, silver, and brown cans of water placed near a heat source. A thermometer measures the temperature of each can after 30 minutes to see which absorbs and radiates the most heat. The results will help a homeowner decide which roofing material color to use.

Manipulating Variable: Colour
Responding Variable: Temperature

Procedure:
1. Assemble three cans of colours Yellow, brown and silver
2. Place each can equally apart from the heat source. And let it
remain for 30 minutes.
3. After the 30 minutes have expired, the thermometer is used
to measure the temperature of each of the cans.
4.

Precaution:
1. Ensure that the heat source is placed equally apart from each
can.
2. Ensure that the windows and doors are closed, as it might affect
the flow of the flame.
