Energy Transformation: Solar Water Fountain
by Lourdes Casinao
In this hands-on lesson, students investigate how a solar panel can change energy from sunlight into electrical energy. They also determine how water flows out of the fountain. With the use of a protractor, students will figure out the best angle and direction for the panel to face in order to receive the best flow of water.
