In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.
Solar Cell Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.
The Shadow Knows I
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.
Reflective Solar Cooker
