Description
Explore solar energy with this innovative science kit. First, students discover how the angle of photovoltaic panels relative to the sun affects power output using a hinged box and compare their experimental findings to online sun-angle calculators. Then they experiment with basic circuits and learn about important factors in photovoltaic systems. They learn about the effect of important variables in photovoltaic systems, such as the effects of shade, temperature, and load on solar panel output.
Product Details
Explore solar energy with this innovative science kit designed to help students investigate energy transformations.
First, students discover how the angle of photovoltaic panels relative to the sun affects power output using a hinged box. They can then compare their experimental findings to online sun-angle calculators.
Next, students experiment with basic circuits and learn about important factors in photovoltaic systems. Three solar panels allow students to explore series and parallel circuits. They learn about the effect of important variables in photovoltaic systems, such as the effects of shade, temperature, and load on solar panel output. Then they harness energy from the solar panels to pump water or power a small motor.
