Lesson Plan

1. The document describes an experiment comparing the absorption of heat by black and white objects. Students wrapped identical glasses in black and white construction paper and measured the temperature of water in each glass when exposed to sunlight. 2. The black glass absorbed more heat, as its temperature increased more over time than the white glass. Darker objects absorb more light and heat because they reflect less light than lighter colors. 3. In hot, sunny climates, a white car would be preferable to a black car because white reflects sunlight and absorbs less heat, providing more comfort to passengers. Darker colors absorb more light and heat from the

affect the ability to absorb heat?

Materials: 2 identical glasses, water, black


construction paper, white construction paper,
tape, thermometer, a sunny day

Procedure
1. Find two identical glasses.
2. Cut black construction paper to the same
height as one of the glasses.
3. Wrap the black construction paper around
the glass so it covers the entire outside
surface as well as the top.
4. Tape the paper in place around the glass to
hold the paper in place.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the second glass
with the white construction paper.
6. Fill both glasses with water. Make sure
they have the same amount of water in them,
and make sure you use the same temperature
of water in both glasses.
7. Take the temperature of the water in each
glass and write down the starting or initial
temperature.
8. Place both glasses outside in the sun.
9. Use the thermometer to take each glass’s
temperature every 15 minutes. Carefully
make a small hole in the paper at the edge of
the glass to insert your thermometer.
10. Record your observations as you go

1. Generalization
a. How do black and colored
objects affect to heat absorption? The more colors an
object absorbs, the more
heat is absorbed.
Dark objects appear
dark because they
absorb light instead of
reflecting it. The light
absorbed by dark objects
does not disappear. The
absorbed light energy is
transformed into heat
energy. Since darker
colors absorb light better
they also emit heat
better.

2. Application

If you live where it is sunny and hot all


the time, what car will you use, a white I will use the white one
one or a black one? Why? because white reflects
all the color and does
not absorb does not
absorb any of it and it
absorbs less heat. So, it
is comfortable to wear.

D. Evaluation
Write AGREE if the statement is
true and DISAGREE if false.
___1. A white car absorbs more heat
DISAGREE
than a black car.
___2. Lighter colors reflect more of
the sun’s radiant energy. AGREE
___3. Darker colors absorb more AGREE
sunlight than lighter colors.
___4. A black T-shirt gets cooler DISAGREE
than a colored one.
___5. Water in a colored glass will
DISGAGREE
have a lower temperature.
Assignment:

Draw at least 5 black objects that absorb


more heat and 5 colored objects that absorb
less heat.
