1.Making observation and stating a problem

Which method heats water to boiling faster: direct sunlight exposure or direct heating by a
stove?
2.Formulating Hypothesis
Hypothesis 1: Water heated by a stove will boil faster than water exposed to the sun.
Hypothesis 2: Water exposed to direct sunlight will boil faster.
3.Testing the hypothesis with experiment
Variables:
Independent Variable: The heat source (stove or sunlight).
Dependent Variable: Time taken for the water to boil.
Control Variables: Volume of water, type of container, initial temperature of the water, and
environmental conditions (for example, outdoor temperature when testing solar heating).
Materials Needed:
2 identical containers.
Identical amounts of water( 500mL)
A stove.
Access to strong sunlight (sunny day, minimal clouds).
Stopwatch or timer.
Thermometer (optional, for temperature tracking).
Procedure:
Fill each container with the same amount of water.
Place one container on the stove and heat it at a fixed medium-high setting.
Place the second container in a location directly exposed to the sun (without obstructions).
Measure the time taken for each container to reach a boil (100°C or 212°F at sea level Use a
stopwatch to record how long each method takes to boil the water.
Repeat the experiment multiple times to ensure accuracy and consistency.
4. Stating the conclusion
As the result of the experiment the water that is heated from the stove boil faster than the
water that is directly exposed to sunlight.
Guide Questions
1. If the scientific method is not in order, I would assume that we will not have an accurate and
reliable conclusion which may also lead to misinformation and failure of the experiment!
2. If I where to add another step in scientific method, it would be the "identify the problems
during experiment" because having some problems during experiment will surely affect your
output and conclusion so you must be able to identify in order to avoid them on the next
experiment.
