==Process (How to do the activity)==
−
−
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).

==Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)==
−
# why we have to wrap shoe box with black paper?
−
# can we use black paint insted of balck paper?
−
−
==Evaluation (Questions for assessment of the child)==
−
# what is the role of black paper in this activity?
−
# which is good for the solar cookoer -black paper or white paper?
