Digital Multimeter
Student teams will plan an investigation taking into consideration constraints and criteria. Then, they will carry out an investigation using one independent (control) variable and multitude of dependent variables (e.g., angle/position of a panel, time of day, weather, and global position), to determine how they can affect the amount of power a solar panel will generate.
The Energy Coalition will send you solar panels, digital multimeters, and graph paper to bring this lesson to life.

Don’t Forget!
Before your first Energy is Everything lesson, complete the pre-teaching survey!
After teaching each lesson (including this one!), complete the lesson reflection and feedback form.
Finally, when you have taught your last Energy is Everything lesson for the year, complete the post-teaching survey.
