Vernier Investigating Solar Energy
Order code: ELB-SOLARVERNIER INVESTIGATING SOLAR ENERGY
This book contains nine hands-on experiments and two culminating engineering projects that allow K-8 students to learn about solar energy and develop solutions to real-world problems.
Using the KW-SEEK KidWind Solar Energy Exploration Kit, the VES-BTA Vernier Energy Sensor and the STS-BTA Vernier Surface Temperature Sensor, students explore solar energy, energy transfer, series and parallel circuits and variables that affect solar panel output.
