One of our topics this term has been Solar Energy. We have had such fun with this topic and we are here to take you through our journey!

We have researched and expressed our presentation in Word. In it contained lots of different facts about solar power and shows how solar energy is converted into electricity.

As we were researching we discovered and gained a better understanding because we found some diagrams which explained it really well and there was lots of interesting facts.

Some of the things we find incredible about solar energy. Your energy bills go down a lot and the electricity plant doesn’t pay as much.

When we visited Techniquest science museum they also teach about solar power through a workshop that we took part in. They engage children by going over the basics to do with solar power and we then took part in making solar powered fairground rides.

People might not know how vital solar power is to Space exploration. Space is a place stretching out way beyond far away!
