  1. Solar Water Heater Project • Purpose: In a group of no more than 3 you will design, build and test a passive solar water heater. • Design: this is your hypothesis, so it must be researched and based on known information or evidence from other research. You must include a written description of the process you went through to come up with the hypothesis, including your research information. • Include a diagram of your design and a list of materials • Procedure: Identify the procedures you went through to build the project (pictures must be included that show the group working together in the process). In addition, include a journal of the steps as well.

  2. Solar Water Heater Project • Testing: Identify your controlled, manipulated and responding variables then perform at least 3 tests of your design. One test may be the final one done at school. Alterations may be performed to modify your design (hypothesis), but they must be documented. • Data: keep a data table for a control and your experimental design. Be sure to include data at multiple intervals, not just beginning temp and ending temp. • Analysis: Look at your data and rework the data into a graph or some other way to analyze the data other than a chart of numbers. Determine what the data tells you. • Conclusion: is your design/hypothesis efficient at heating water and if it is not why and what would you do to improve it. Were there any experimental errors you could identify?

  3. Solar Water Heater Project • Reporting: You may turn in only one report but each person in the group must have contributed equally in all aspects of the project. In other words; you can not have one person design it, another person build it and another person write up the report; you must all be involved at all steps in the process. • We will have the final testing day as close to two weeks from Friday as possible, all depending on weather, so keep track of the weather report. I will give you at least a day notice as to when you need to bring in your project for the final testing.
