Write a hypothesis for Section 2 of the lab, which is about the effect of the angle of insolation on the amount of heat a material absorbs. Use the format “if . . . then . . . because . . .” and be sure to answer this part of the lesson question: “What factors influence the absorption of sunlight at Earth’s surface?”
Hypothesis: If the angle of insolation increases, then the amount of heat absorbed by a material will also increase, because the angle of insolation affects the intensity of the sunlight. Supporting Explanation: Solar Angles: The angle at which the sun’s
