2. Understand The purpose of this project was to heat water by using the sun’s rays. We are able to use any material necessary to create a water-tight container to keep the water from leaking, while being heated. Mark and I decided to use copper tubes to help heat up the water faster while it is in the container.

3. Material List Cardboard box Empty gallon jug Newspaper Packing peanuts Aluminum pan Plastic lid Plastic Tubing Black Spray Paint Copper Tubing Temperature Gauge File Sealant

4. Explore Ideas:  Bendable copper tubes  Straight copper tubes  Aluminum container (hold the water)  Box filled with newspaper and a gallon of water to supply the container with water  Instead of a gallon of water use more

5. Define Mark and I found out the best solution was to have the box full of newspaper and have two gallon containers for the water. We also decided to use straight copper tubing, instead of bendable copper, so it wouldn’t cost as much.

6. Ideate We decided to use straight copper tubes and spray paint it black
