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.

Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
