LESSON PLAN # ___: Section 1: Introduction Intro statement Define solar power, how it is harnessed using a solar array, and how that array generates power. Length of Lesson 2 Lesson Blocks If possible, copy and laminate Worksheet 3B to extend use. Note or advice to There should be enough copies for groups. Separate the other teachers photos after laminating. Section 2: Purpose List key questions - How does the sun produce electricity? to address - What are the major components to the production of solar power? Section 3: Learning Objectives / Outcomes Key objectives Identify Standards and Benchmarks to be taught for this lesson plan – see Appendix A and B SC.912.P.10.1 Differentiate among the various forms of energy and recognize that they can be transformed from one form to others. SC.912.P.10.18 Explore the theory of electromagnetism by comparing and contrasting the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of wavelength, frequency, and energy, and relate them to phenomena and applications. After completing After completing this lesson, the students will be able to this lesson, the explain the pathway of an electron from the sun’s rays to the students will be utility lines. Define the major components used in the able to: production of AC electricity. Tasks / Skills to be Understand basics of active solar power. achieved
