The student built several boxes of the same size and construction, but each with a different wattage light bulb installed. She measured out the same amount of water in containers that were placed in these boxes and exposed them to the light sources for a period of time. She also had a control box with no light source.
After the set time had elapsed, she measured the amount of water left and recorded her data. Her hypothesis was proven correct as expected. This is a very simple project that just about any student can do with the help of a parent. It's a good demonstration of how kinetic energy, which increases with heat, will cause molecules to move faster, allowing them to break free of the bonds that hold them together. The project is in a complete form with pictures.
