Solar Surge: Unveiling the Dynamics of Water Flow
by Lacey Merritt
The investigation focuses on exploring the impact of hose length on water flow rate in a solar-powered pump system. Students will set up a simple experiment using a solar pump connected to hoses of varying lengths. By measuring the volume of water discharged into a container over a specific time period, they will calculate the flow rate. The investigation aims to understand how changing the length of the hose affects the efficiency of the solar pump. Through hands-on exploration and data analysis, students will draw conclusions about the relationship between hose length and water flow rate, fostering an understanding of basic principles in fluid dynamics and solar energy applications.
