The Case for Biodiesel with Selected Experiments

Laboratory #5

Take many transparent containers and cover (or paint) the bottoms and sides of each in different colors. I would recommend having at least one black, one white, one green, one dark blue, one yellow, and leaving two transparent. Place a thermometer in each and put the lids on all of them except one of the transparent containers.

Place the containers underneath heat lamps (try to make sure that an equal amount of light is hitting the tops of each of the containers to make sure the light gets in equally) overnight or longer. See the temperature difference in each container.
