Hypothesis:
I think the color black will absorb the light most and white will absorb the least light.

Conclusion:
• My hypothesis was right.
• The graphs show that the color black absorbed sunlight the best.
• Sunlight was changed into heat.
• You’d better wear black or a dark color to keep warm in cold weather.
• There was no temperature difference for the experiments in the shaded area and I think this is because there was no light to absorbed for warming the water.
