Maybe you have left it too late and now you need science Fair Projects you can do quickly. Well, you’re in luck, here is a fun and easy one you can do in less than 24 hours! This is one of our many easy science fair projects to do on short notice
This experiment is about heat absorption. You are going to try and find out which colors absorb more heat than other.
Here are the questions you should be able to answer after you have completed this science fair project:
Now we have to start our experiment:
Do you know what the first thing is you need to do? Yes, you have to formulate your hypothesis! In doing this experiment to see which ice cube, covered in different colors, melts the most, what do you think your hypothesis should be? Okay it is: Do dark colors absorb more heat than light colors.
What you need for this easy science fair project (it is called the materials):
How you have to do this experiment (it is called the procedure):
(Beginning weight) – (final weight)/ Beginning weight X 100 = percentage melted
Can you think of what else you can do for your display now? Yes, you have to make a graph to show the differences in percentage each ice cube melted.
Now you can come to your conclusion about the difference in heat different colors absorbs.
If you have more time for science fair projects to do, you can take this experiment further by doing the same, but placing the tray in the fridge or by covering it with a cardboard box to see if it makes any difference to the results and to formulate why you think it makes a difference. For instance, does the heat absorption of the cardboard box play any role in it?
