Solar Energy

Students will become solar engineers, using science and math to turn a simple pizza box into a functional, heat-trapping oven. They will use their knowledge of energy transfer and the Engineering

In this 6th grade STEM lesson, students explore the real-world challenges of renewable energy by designing and testing simple solar oven and wind turbine models. Working collaboratively, they will

This third-grade STEM lesson introduces students to solar energy, the heat island effect, and data analysis. Students will use temperature gauges to measure different areas of the school at various

This lesson is focused on solar energy, students engage in a hands-on exploration of photovoltaic cells, motors, and light bulbs to investigate the correlation between light intensity and solar power

This project transforms students into solar power investigators! They'll construct miniature solar power plants (model houses) and test methods to combat dust, a real-world challenge for solar panels

Lesson "Phoenix Reimagined: From Sun City to Solar City" ensures that students engage in age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences that promote understanding of solar energy and its applications

This is an introductory investigation to how light behaves in an electromagnetic spectrum unit. This is prior to any content being taught at the subject and is a way to spark inquiry and for students

This lesson is intended to expose students to information about environmental changes and how solar energy affects living things. Students are challenged to design and build a shelter for a dog to

Students will combine science and art by using an alternative photographic process called cyanotypes or sun prints. After a short introduction to the history of cyanotypes and the process of creating
