Solar-Powered Cars—Flinn STEM Design ChallengeTM
Students build their very own model cars that run on energy from the sun! These solar vehi- cles 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 investi- gate different 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-mov- ing 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. AP8085 I $342.00
