Small Solar Fountain
Students will create a small solar fountain in this lesson. You will begin the lesson by discussing the concept of solar energy and its benefits as a renewable energy source. Students will understand the basic principles of solar energy and its application in powering a fountain. Students will design and construct a small-scale solar-powered fountain, applying their knowledge of solar energy and engineering concepts. Finally, students will analyze the functionality of their solar fountains and reflect on their design choices and problem-solving strategies.
