Lower Secondary School Project - Step by Step of Making of a Solar Heater Box

Present era is the era of science and computer. Analytical power, research and need of entertainment is also growing in men. Value of time has increased a lot. It is very important for the studenta to accelerate in their learning skills and make them relative to time. Keeping in view this need of students, I started to publish curiosity series.

I have published curiosity series related to manufacture and use of science equipment for lower secondary and secondary level home experiments. Some of our topic related to these are - Elementary Science Project, Science Project for Kids, Stem Fair ideas, Fun Science etc.

Now lets come to the project that I am going to show you step by step. In this article i will be showing you how to make a Solar Heater Box. Its a very simple Science Project for Kids.

NECESSARY MATERIALS:

1. A big and a small carton.
2. Cardboard or a plywood.
3. Adhesive or Quick fix.
4. Shining paper.
5. Chaff or Sand.
6. Black paint

METHOD - Making of Solar Heater Box:

Take a big carton and then, open the upper lid of the carton and stick the shining paper on its inner surface. Then fix it slight oblique so that the sunlight may fall over it. Paint the innner surfaces black.

Model : Solar Heater Box

Apply adhesive or quickfix on the outer base of the small carton and put it exactly in the middle of the big carton. Then fill chaff or sand in the gaps between both cartons. Paint the small carton also black already. Then put the object that is to be heated into small carton and kept it in a place where the sunlight falls. Just after a short while, the object will get heated.

REASON - How Solar Heater Box work?

A blackened box or a box with shining paper gets heated quickly because, black colour absorbs heat and the shining paper reflects the rays that falls out of the box and radiates them right towards the box. As the result, the temperature of the inner part of the box highly increases and the object kept inside the box gets quickly heated or dries. Besides this, the sand put in the box gets quickly heated too. And, if the object to be heated or dry is kept in a metal plate or any other vessel made of metal, it dries or gets heated quickly too. For all these reasons, a thing kept in such type of box dries or gets heated quickly.
