The experiments test how radiation and rocket launches could affect dye sensitized solar cells which the students say are safer and easier to make than traditional solar panels.

Fill each cup with the same amount of liquid of the same cool temperature. Measure the water temperature and set one cup on each paper. As the one in the sun turns into a puddle first explain that the heat energy from the sun made it melt faster. Have a discussion and make predictions about what you think will happen to the water in each glass.

Place the cubes outside in your backyard on a sunny but not too hot day. Or analyze how solar cells or panels work.
