Solar Cell Simulation

Solar Cell Simulation

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load. The game-like atmosphere engages younger learners and helps them understand the continuous nature of the flow of energy. Note: to do this activity you need access to a large open area outside (e.g., a field or playground)....
