Students will investigate solar panels ability to produce volts and amps by collecting data with series vs parallel circuits and angles of light collection.

What is a solar eclipse and why are they only visible in some parts of the world? In this video segment adapted from NASA, astronomer Susan Stolovy uses animations to provide an answer to these questions.

Students will identify photovoltaic solar power as a source of energy and explain what happens when a photovoltaic cell is shaded.

In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, cast members assemble a solar still and make fresh water from saltwater, demonstrating two steps of the water cycle, evaporation and condensation.
