InstructionsOMeasure the power generated from the
solar panel at 10 angle intervals. ORecord this information on the Data
Collection Sheet. OWhen you collect the needed data,
graph the results on the Data Sheet.OKeep the flashlight in the same position
throughout the testing.

Bell RingerBefore class begins, get a notecard and answer these two questions about your research in lesson 1:
1. What angles generated the most solar energy?
2. Why do we need to know this to design our solar panel?

Marketing PlanODevelop a marketing plan for convincing
the of the class that your solar panel is the best.
ODecide on your selling points.OPrepare a brief (2-3 minute) presentation. OMake your presentation short and to the
point.
