+1. Paint a soda can black paint . If you don’t have paint you can use a felt marker
+, or even wrap the
+can with black paper. Secure the paper with tape or rubber bands. This helps the can absorb
+heat.
+<br>2. Use kabob stick to punch a hole through
+one of the long sides of the shoebox. The
+hole should be about 2” from the back of the
+box. This is for the thermometer.
+<br>3. You may have to add several layers of
+cardboard inside. This lets the thermometer reach the inside of the can. It also adds
+insulation. Try wrapping the cardboard with aluminum foil to reflect heat onto the can.
+<br>4. Attach another reflector with tape. Puncture the reflectors with kabob sticks, and
+and slide them through the reflectors. use the sticks
+to hold the reflectors open.
+<br>5. Try using a black-painted can and a plain can to see how
+fast each heats up. Make a chart to record your results.
+<br>6. Lay the shoebox on its side in the sun. You can lean it against a wall to face the
+sun. Fill the soda can about 3/4 full with water, and place it in the box. Insert the
+thermometer, and record the temperature. record the temperature
+again at regular intervals (15 minutes or more).
