Students will use a model to examine solar energy by constructing a solar circuit. Students will make predictions about energy load in their circuit and experiment with varying amounts of load.
The Energy Coalition will send you a Solar Kits, which include a 2V solar panel, a motor, a propeller, a light bulb stand, a light bulb and a buzzer to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will build and test a model using solar energy.
Suggested Teaching Time: 45 minutes
NGSS Standards: K-PS3-1., 1-PS4-3., 2-PS1-4
