Today, we will be asking questions about the Sun.
Step 1: Open up your Google Doc about the Sun. SHARE this document with me and your teammates.
Step 2: Answer the following questions to the best of your knowledge. This will require you to SEARCH on Google. When you get the answer, write it down in ONE to TWO sentences, and then paste the URL in. IF you use a textbook, write down the page that you found the answer.
- How does the Sun make its heat?
- How does the heat travel to Earth?
- How far is it between the Sun and the Earth?
- Do we depend on the Sun? Why?
- What is passive solar energy?
- How does a solar cell work?
Step 3: Data collection. You will be collecting temperatures on at least 15 surfaces around the school grounds. You may NOT cross any streets, and will be sent out in teams with a cell phone. The first three are 1) a brick wall 30 cm (1 foot off the ground); 2) a brick wall 60 cm (2 foot off the ground) and 3) a brick wall
Organize it in a table with the headings: Surface/Height from the ground (m)/Temperature (degrees C)/Direct or Indirect Sunlight
Add this information to your Google Docs.
Step 4: Processing. We do this the last 15 minutes of class. Use your time wisely.
