This book contains nine hands-on experiments and two culminating engineering projects that allow elementary students to learn about solar energy and develop solutions to real-world problems.
Using the KidWind Solar Energy Exploration Kit, the Vernier Energy Sensor, and the Surface Temperature Sensor, students explore solar energy, energy transfer, series and parallel circuits, and variables that affect solar panel output.
