This is a second grade STEM lesson in which students will observe the shadow of an object at different points in the day, comparing the size and direction of the shadow at different points. Observing
Students will investigate how solar energy changes the temperature of a substance.
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Today we will make new crayons from old and broken crayons. To do this we will: listen to an informational text describing how crayons are made. make a solar oven. describe the steps we take to make
Students will first build and collect data on how fast their solar car is. Then students can change items to increase the efficiency of the solar panel to increase the overall speed of the solar car.
Students will increase efficiency of the solar panels by using angles. Students are given a solar panel, protractor, and a multimeter. They need to complete a pre- investigation plane before they
Students will be reading an article and answering questions on Solar Panels to help them complete their model of how the solar panel converts the sun's energy into electricity,.
Introduction to how a solar panel works. Students get to explore how to power a fan and lights using a solar panel and a motor. Students get to see a diagram of a solar panel and start to make a model
In this lesson, students will build on what they understand about heat/energy transfer to research, design, and construct solar cookers.
