Specifically written with the middle school child in mind, this book will lead both the enthusiastic and the reluctant science student to a deeper understanding of the principles of solar energy. Loaded with intriguing facts and do-able, inexpensive experiments, including my signature project from At Home With the Sun, a pizza box solar oven for cooking smokeless s'mores.
SUN FACT – On average 1000 watts of solar energy fall on a 3' by 3' patch of ground – about the size of a sidewalk square.
