Using the information we learned about solar water heaters, predict how surface area affects the changes in temperature for these solar heaters.

• The smaller the black area the more the water will heat up.

• The larger the black area the more water will heat up.

• The larger the white area the more water will heat up.

• The size of the black area does not affect how the water heats up.
