Place one cube directly in the sun and the other in full shade.
Science projects to do with solar panels.
I believe that using bi convex lenses which concentrate a beam of light will improve the efficiency of a solar panel.
These long summer days call for kiddie pools and ice cream but they also call out for kids science.
The following easy science experiments for kids will help them look at the sun in a whole new light.
Lenses used on solar panels.
In this electronics science project you will use parts of a solar car to experiment with the energy storage read more.
Amount of voltage current and resistance.
Other links to solar energy science project ideas.
Place the cubes outside in your backyard on a sunny but not too hot day.
Project display for making efficient use of solar panels hypothesis.
Solar science to be exact.
Have your child make a guess on which cube will melt faster.
The capacitor stores the energy as an electric field which can be tapped into at any time in or out of light.

As the one in the sun turns into a puddle first explain that the heat energy from the sun made it melt faster.
One way to store the solar energy for later use is to use a solar cell to charge something called a capacitor.
