Photovoltaic Solar Power

Principle: Photovoltaic cells generate electricity when exposed to light.

Use the solar apparatus to see how
much light it takes to generate
electricity.

Experiment: Determine the extent
to which exposure to light impacts
generation of electricity.

  1. Connect wires on the scientific
    apparatus so that one appliance
    works.
  2. Place the scientific apparatus in___
    different amounts of light.

Conclusions: Have students discuss
what they learned.
