Solar
Lesson 1
Lesson 1
The first solar activity we did.
(Hint: it took place outside)
What is...Mini solar panels?
What is...connecting solar panels to motors?
The "brain" of the solar chasis?
What is...the Charge Controller?
The sun rises in the...
What is...East?
An educated guess about what will happen during an experiment. It’s your prediction based on the information you already know.
What is...a Hypothesis?
Th day of the week the library closes early, so we all have to leave by 5pm.
What is... Friday?
Two types of Renewable Energy...
What is...
Hydropower, Wind power, Geothermal energy, Biomass, and Solar power?
The part of the chasis that will the energy collected from the sun.
(Middle part of the chasis, at the bottom).
What is... the Battery?
The sun sets in the...
What is...West?
At the end, when you say if your hypothesis was right or wrong.
What is... the conclusion?
You need to do this before grabbing your snack.
What is...washing your hands?
Three types of Non-Renewable Energy sources...
What are...
Coal, Oil, Peat, Natural gas, Propane gas, and Nuclear energy?
Part of the solar chasis you conenct that collects energy from the sun.
What is...the Solar Panel?
Surprise! This question is worth double! 600 points!
Name the 4 main parts of the solar chasis...
What is... Charge Controller, Solar Panel, Load/Lightbulb, and the Battery?
What is...the Experiment?
This is the subject we learned about for the first 2 weeks of STEM.
(Hint: in week 2 you made models of it)
What is...
-teeth?/illnesses that effect teeth?
-periodontology
The wire color that carries the negative charge in our mini solar panels
What is... the Black (Wire)?
This is the last section of the solar chasis, the blue side, that needs energy in order to turn on.
What is...the Load?/the Lightbulb?
The time of day the sun is at its highest point in the sky?
What is...
-Noon?
- 12pm?
This is what your hypothesis is about, it is the reason you are conducting the experiment.
What is the... Question?
If you don't have homewrok to do, then you must do this when you come in after school.
What is...
-the Writing Prompt?
-Cursive Practice?
You cannot connect a negative wire to this wire.
What is the...
-Red wire?
-Positive wire?
This switch on the Solar Chasis makes the lightbulb turn on in the "Load" section.
(Hint: its not A or B).
What is...Switch C?
At 6pm in September, this is how much energy is being collected from the sun, if the solar panel is facing the direction of the sun, and there is nothing blocking it.
What is... 50-60%?
The part of the experiment you change/is different.
What is the...
- Independent Variable?
- Experimental Group?
Give the name of one of our partners/guests who come visit.
Who is...
-Coach Tony?
-Ms. Debony?
-Aunt Martha's?
-Chase Bank
