Re: [Phys-l] Solar Wall

["Jeffrey Schnick" <JSchnick@Anselm.Edu>]

Every Friday plot a point on a graph of Energy Converted Into Electrical
Energy vs. Week of the School Year posted on the wall of the classroom.
In October, add a predicted curve for the entire school year, arrived at
by the students by means of research and analysis (based on things such
as annual weather patterns, hours of daylight, maximum angle of the sun
above the horizon, first few data points).  Continue to plot the data
for the entire school year and discuss how well or how poorly the data
conforms to the predicted curve.
