ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Solar-Powered Cars—Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Students build their very own model cars that run on energy from the sun! These solar vehicles use mini solar panels to convert the sun’s energy to electricity. In the first part of this activity, students learn how a solar car works and build a model prototype. Next, they investigate differ- ent variables to determine their effect on the car’s performance. Based on the data collected and their observations, students create an optimal design solution for a faster-moving car. This activity increases the level of student enthusiasm and ownership of the results as they apply their knowledge and reasoning skills while actively engaging in the engineering design process! Complete for eight student groups.

Solar Cell and Motor
Use the Sun to power a motor. The energy conversion from solar to electrical to mechanical energy will be made concrete for students using this simple kit. When the solar panel is placed in bright sunlight, it powers the motor. What can the motor power? Add fan blades or patterned disks to emphasize speed and movement. The 24-page booklet Harness the Power of the Sun is included. It contains illustrations and details about solar energy and its practical applications to the world—present and future.
