In this video, Exploratorium senior scientist Paul Doherty shows how to measure the energy efficiency of a solar cell using simple materials. Energy efficiency is an important topic in today’s world and critical to successful engineering design. This is a great hands-on activity for middle school students and beyond.
The Exploratorium Teacher Institute (TI), the professional development arm of the Exploratorium, has worked with middle school and high school science teachers since 1984. TI offers a rich mix of hands-on activities based on Exploratorium exhibits, content-based discussions, classroom materials, Web-based teaching resources, and machine shop experiences through our Summer Institutes, Saturday Workshops, Alumni Workshops, Teacher Induction Programs and more.
