Problem/Question
How does color affect the temperature of the water in the can through heat conduction?
HYPOTHESIS
I think that white can will absorb heat faster than the black can.
MATERIALS
1. 1 black can
2. 1 white can
3. Hot plate

two layers of tin.
CONCLUSION
The result based on the
data are:
