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.
This lesson is a 7th-grade STEM lesson with Arizona science standards. Students will be exposed to different forms of energy with sustainability concepts built into the lesson. Encourages students to
In this lesson, students will design and construct their own solar ovens. The goal is to use a solar oven to cook the "perfect" s'more. Students will use their knowledge of the sun's energy and the
This lesson is a STEM performance task after the students learn how solar power and solar panel work. Students draw attention to solar energy is not mainly beneficial in contributing to power lights
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
