Hello, Our name is Hayes and Adam and we worked On solar energy For our Innovation day. Here is what me and Adam worked on. (add her about the project – building an environmentally friendly park using renewbale energy either wind or solar)

Why did we picked solar energy?

We wanted to know what some more things the sun can do and also this would be helpful because modern day families are on their electronics a lot so if we can get energy from the sun  they can charge there electronics, and can also do a lot more stuff to make the playground more fun

What is solar Energy?

Solar means sun, And Solar energy means sun’s energy.  Solar Panels take energy from the Sun and they convert it into Power. They take this energy and use it to provide the house/outside with electricity and even hot water. Solar panels can even work on cloudy days when the sun isn’t very visible at all (but not as much).

What is in solar panels (AKA Solar Cells)?

Solar panels have 3 layers inside of them. 1st Silicon, 2nd P-N Junction, The last layer is made out of more Silicon.  Silicons can be manufactured in many forms including solids, liquids, semi-viscous pastes, greases, oils and rubber. One solar panel is 180 watts so if we have 24 solar panels that equals around 4,000 watts.

What are the facts of solar energy? 

Did you know that DC means direct current and AC means alternating current. I bet you didn’t know that solar energy is associated with pollution. A solar furnace can produce temperatures of up to 3,630° F (2,000° C). This heat can be used to make steam. The steam can be used to make electricity in a power plant. Also Solar energy can be called Renewable Energy.

Why does the sun help renewable energy?

The sun starts everything in solar panels. The sun is a nuclear reactor that produces photons that reach the earth in enough time to survive the surface of the sun. Photon’s are electromagnetic radiation created by the sun. 

What Have we created? We have created a  Tinkercad creation.

Thank you for reading our post on solar energy.

Hi i’m Jack, our class is making projects about our world and whats happening in our world. the topics were deforestation, plastic pollution, ice caps and oil.

Deforestation and plastic pollution were the most common. I picked deforestation, I had to make a video of deforestation I made a video because I like editing and some people can understand videos more, I added some cue cards for people that dont understand videos as well. I think I did well.

You know whats crazy every year 18,000,000 acres of tree is cut down and/or burnt, if we keep doing this for the next 100 years there will be no rainforests, the world only has 33% of forests left,

Did you know that trees help you breathe because trees produce oxygen and oxygen helps you breathe?

I really liked this project because you can use your imagination, I made this for grade 4 and 5.

I wish I did something different tho, I was really nervous and I was overthinking so I was scared
