6 FAQs about [Sun Chasing Solar Panel Video]

Do solar panels follow the Sun?

The problem the students are solving is the sun moves across the sky, but solar panels remain stationary. The goal is to design a prototype solar panel that “follows” the sun to optimize its sunlight exposure. Theoretically students will apply what they learned about the sun flowers to help solve this problem.

How do you explain solar panels to students?

Point out the solar panel’s position in relation to the sun and ask the students why this might be a problem. Lead students toward the fact that the solar panels are static/stationary but the sun moves across the sky. Have students draw the conclusion that the solar panels are not facing the sun during all times of the day.)

How do you use pipe cleaners to make solar panels?

Wrapping the pipe cleaners around each other to create a bendable stand for the solar panel. Creating a panel of solar modules that use pipe cleaners to move back and forth. Circulate the room and prompt students to try different materials or work together using their collaboration expectations as needed.

Can a solar panel make electricity?

Solar energy has almost limitless potential to power our needs, and best of all it is exceptionally clean! However, the challenge lays in how to harness that energy in an effective manner—and that’s where engineers come in. In this activity, students learn how the sun can help us make electricity with a device called a solar panel.

How do you make a solar panel stand?

Pass out material bins: 2 x 3” cardboard (solar panel), 10 pipe cleaners, pair scissors, foil (optional). Remind students their goal is to work together to create a solar panel stand that maximizes sun exposure. Set a timer for 10 minutes on the board and let students explore the materials and try to construct their panels.

How do you assess student understanding of solar panels?

Observe students' creation of solar panel stands. While doing this they can use the Teacher Assessment Checklist check off for student understanding. Students demonstrate understanding when they can accurately describe if their prototype is maximizing sun consumption and how they know.
