Sometimes students want to demonstrate solar power for school projects. Solar projects are fun and can vary in difficulty so that you can pick something easy or more complex depending on the age and skill level of those doing the project. Here are some ideas for solar projects that you can do for school. A number of simple projects can be done to easily demonstrate solar power and uses.
One simple project can be done by purchasing a solar cell kit at a local marine or RV store. You can use this kit to do a variety of experiments and projects. One basic project is simply to document the setup of the solar panel that is purchased and then show how the panels charge the batteries and what some of the possible uses are. You can document this process with video.
Another project is to get a small solar panel with an inverter to convert the power as needed and remove the batteries from an old radio. You pull the batteries from the radio then use the wires that go to the battery terminals to connect the wires from the inverter. The idea is to provide the same amount of direct current power the radio would use from batteries to power the radio. This is a pretty simple project as you simply have to connect the same color wires in the radio to the wires on the inverter. Many times you can get a small panel with a simple DC inverter connected to it for small solar projects.
You can do projects that show how to heat a room with solar heating by building on a small scale. Cardboard can be used to create a simple green house room next to another room. You use clear plastic or glass pane at an angle to create the green house room. Using a heat lamp or even a 100 watt bulb in a desk lamp you can simulate the sun above this tiny room you have created. By covering the top with a clear material you can show the results using a thermometer.
An easier option is to purchase a solar kit that has a series of experiments in it. One such kit is called Power House and allows you to show different ways solar can be used to power the small model house. The kit is small enough to sit on a table but versatile enough to allow you to demonstrate a number of possible uses of solar power. In fact there are 90 experiments involved.
One more simple project you can do pretty easily is to create a cone out of reflective metal material like a piece of sheet metal or you can make it out of cardboard with aluminum foil inside the cone so that the light is all reflected directly toward the middle of the cone. In the center of the cone you place a nail to be used as a simple way to skewer food. You can then put a hot dog or a potato or whatever food you want to roast on the skewer and watch it cook with nothing other than sunlight. It needs to be a hot sunny day to do this but it is a fun quick easy project. Enjoy!
