In this lesson, students will construct a solar updraft tower. They will use heat lamps to warm the air inside the tower, resulting in the propeller spinning. This lesson helps students gain a better
Students use a solar panel and motor to create a solar-powered amusement park ride that spins. Activity designed for students to work in teams. Students are provided solar cells, motors, propellors
As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.
The "Solar-Powered Water Purification System" lesson is an engaging and hands-on STEM experience for 4th-grade students. In this lesson, students explore the importance of clean water and learn how
This plan was created by me and used in my afterschool STEM club in January. It tests building a soda can heater. The plan begins with the story, Snowy Day, and brings into focus the need for heat and
After learning about solar, students will create a device that can be used by the community that will run on Solar energy.
This is a solar panel investigation lesson using mini solar panels from Agrivoltaics Kits provided from U of A. Students will investigate how the direction and angle impacts voltage output.
Students will solder a solar panel, dc motor, propeller to a cap and produce cool air using solar energy.
This lesson helps students understand the idea of conserving and using energy from the sun to create vehicles that strictly move on solar energy.
