Description

In this lesson we will explore a solution to help in the climate change crises; using solar hot water to supplement some existing energy sources, reducing the amount of emissions. Students will be introduced to solar hot water through an experiment that is made to have students investigate ways to heat water and compare variables within an experiment. Students will investigate ways that solar hot water could be used.

Lesson Type: Hands-on, Lab/Experiment
