Each group has been given a solar panel. You should investigate the following properties of solar panels and
report on your findings. Your report can be a talk (with graphs to back up your findings), a video or a
PowerPoint.
You have 2 hours to complete the experiments and 1 hour to prepare your presentation. All measurements
taken for your presentation should be in V or mV (whichever is most appropriate) using the multimeter
provided. You will be provided with a laptop computer and a video camera. You can incorporate video into
your presentation.
The presentations will be delivered at 2pm and should last about 5 minutes. Your presentation must be
delivered in English, French and German.
1 Effect of solar panel area on voltage generated.
2 Effect of filters on voltage generated - red, yellow and blue.
3 Response of solar panels to red, green and blue lasers.
4 Effect of angle on voltage generated.
5 Effect of light intensity on voltage generated.
6 Effect of distance on voltage generated.

There are two wind mills set up in the room. You should carry out the
following experiments when called to the windmills.
1 Effect of blade angle on voltage generated.
2 Effect of number of blades (calculate voltage as a function of blade
mass).
3 Effect of wind speed (use fan setting as variable).
You should include your findings in your solar power presentation. You can
use the video camera to video your experiment.

You will be provided with the following equipment, the aim is to build a wave generator. You
will have 1 hour to make the generator. We will then take them down to the sea for testing.
You should film some of your work.
2 coils of wire
2 magnets
1 copper strip
1 wooden block
4 conducting wires
4 crocodile clips
blu tak
1 plastic box
2 multimeters
1 cardboard tube
Scissors
tape
Your aim is to build the wave generator shown in the
photograph. You must try to make it just from this
photograph. Good luck.
