In particular this paper is focused on the experienced gained by two of the RET participants that were involved in the Solar Tracker research module. Therefore, the following sections explain in detail the
The purpose of this booklet is to provide high school students with a variety of projects to broaden their knowledge of science, in particular renewable energy, and the scientific method.
This activity examines two methods of large-scale solar electricity generation on public lands, why such facilities are being built, and where solar generation fits into the mix of electricity sources in the U.S.
With these observations in mind, this report was produced to: (1) help K-12 schools understand the motivations and successes of current solar schools; (2) provide insight into the basic technical and
Students may know a little about solar energy, as some of their homes may use solar panels for heating or cooling purposes. The following projects allow students to set up their own investigations and
The research achievements of a university chemistry lab regarding dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were transformed into a high school hands-on course by simplifying the experimental steps and
Investigate alternative energy sources, efficiency, and sustainability in this collection of unique energy science experiments. Explore classic and cutting-edge high school science experiments in this
Students learn how to access, navigate, and interpret information found in a typical solar PV generation dashboard. They will explore differences in solar generation of a local solar array and how the
Students brainstorm and discuss what factors need to be considered for their own schools to install solar power systems as well as how to quantify these factors for the purpose of evaluating design solutions.
