Would heat transfer be affected with
little or no gravity?

Experiment # 1:  Heat Radiation

We are looking at how heat is absorbed to dark or light colors, on Earth we know that the darker color will absorb all wavelengths and the light color will reflect all wavelengths but we are trying to figure out how it would absorb it differently or the same in space. We are researching so that we can answer our question of how things can absorb heat differently in Space and on Earth depending on the color. We also are doing this so that we can learn about Space.

Conclusion

We noticed in the ground data, the black color was about 2-3 degrees warmer than the white color. 

In the flight data, the black color was about 5 degrees warmer than the white color.  This suggests in Space, the black color gets warmer than the white.
