Solar Powered Water Pumping
Students use a solar module and other materials in conjunction with a water pump to test how quickly one cup of water can be pumped.
Students use a solar module and other materials in conjunction with a water pump to test how quickly one cup of water can be pumped.
Students will observe that heat naturally spreads from warmer places to cooler places and that some materials spread (conduct) heat and others keep it from spreading (insulate).
Students use all their prior knowledge to design and construct a water pump that can pump 1 cup of water the fastest.
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the students to three different styles of inexpensive solar ovens. Students will work together to build a File Box oven, an auto shade/bucket oven and a “Copenhagen” style oven. Students will follow written...
