Introduction

            Have you ever wished that someway you could harness the sun’s amazing energy? Well, I have, so this made me interested about solar energy. For my science fair, I am going to show you one way to heat water with only the energy from the sun’s rays. I will have two hoses that I will spray paint two different colors. I will set each out in the sun one at a time. Then I will have a pump to pump the water through the hose over and over again. I will test the temperature over a certain amount of time, and about every fifteen minutes. My hypothesis for this experiment is that the hose that is painted blue will heat the water up about two times faster than the pink hose.

            Solar energy has always fascinated me because I know that it is another source of energy besides electricity, and it is free! I know that the sun has amazingly strong energy that nothing on Earth could be compared to. During this project, I hope to achieve learning and understanding  more about the marvelous solar energy and its potential uses in place of current energy sources.
