Description
This inquiry based lab activity is designed to help students to understand where the energy that we use in our every day lives comes from and how much energy different power plants generate to help us meet those needs.
Students will design their own Solar Energy Collector and measure its power output and efficiency. Students will also investigate and design a wind turbine and calculate it's output and efficiency.
