How does the sun make energy? AIM: How does the sun make energy? Solar power QOD: What is one benefit and one drawback to using wind power to generate electricity?

Aim: How does the sun make energy and how do we use it?

How does the sun make energy? Objectives AIM: How does the sun make energy? SWBAT describe the process of nuclear fusion SWBAT compare and contrast active and passive SWBAT describe what photovoltaic cells are and explain how they are used to capture energy from the sun. 3

How does the sun make energy? AIM: How does the sun make energy? The Sun A medium-sized star that radiates energy from nuclear fusion reactions in its core

How does the sun make energy? Nuclear Fusion AIM: How does the sun make energy? 1. The sun turns hydrogen into helium 2. The mass lost transforms into energy (like in fission, in nuclear power)

How does the sun make energy? AIM: How does the sun make energy? Solar power 1 square meter on earth gets ~ 1 kilowatt (17 light-bulbs) of energy  A map of the world showing kilowatt hours per region The sun’s energy is so strong that if only 0.1% of the earth (New Mexico + South Dakota) were covered in solar panels, we would have enough electricity for the whole world.

2. Active Passive How do we collect solar power? Two main ways… AIM: How does the sun make energy? How do we collect solar power? Two main ways… 2. Active Passive

How does the sun make energy? AIM: How does the sun make energy? 1. Passive solar energy collection =use the sun’s energy to heat something directly Ex: 700 yrs ago, Ancestral Puebloans lived in passive solar cliff dwellings Ex: materials chosen that absorb heat well, South-facing windows

How does the sun make energy? AIM: How does the sun make energy? 1. Passive solar energy collection

How does the sun make energy? AIM: How does the sun make energy? 2. Active solar energy collection = using technology to focus, move, or store solar energy.
