An Alternative energy source: Solar Energy"

What do we already know about the topic?

Solar powered machines can be done and solar energy is a very good renewable source of energy. With this, we hope to create a DIY solar machine"

What are the questions we want to ask about this topic?

Is it possible? To what extent can we harness this renewable energy source? Is it easy to do?

What are the subjects/skills we can make use of?

Our resourcefullness, judgement, creativeness. We may pick new skills later while doing this project. We can make use of our science education about alternative energy sources"

Where can we go to find information on our project?

" world wide web, hardware store, library "

What do we want to tell others about our project?

We want to tell everyone to use less fossil fuels as an energy source as it is destroying our environment slowly but surely. We have to show them alternative energy sources are available and mabe easy to use with a abit of effort. Basically, we are telling people to care and save earth"

Facts - What i want to learn about the topic

I want to learn how to create solar powered machines and how they really work. I think it would be fun to understand something that may be our future energy source. It may give me an advantage when i'm older. 

Ideas - what i think we can do

I think we can go to different hardware stores or do research on the internet. I think it is possible to find the machincs for our solar powered item on the internet. I think we maybe able to narrow down blueprints for our project fast with some teamwork.

Learning issues - what i want to find out about the topic

I want to find out about how significant this new energy source is and if it is easy to do. I have seen people on the media talking and experimenting about it but i want to learn if this is the real deal and can really be our next energy source. 

Action plans - What can i do to start a project

I think we can find the machanics and expertise needed in the creation.  We can use this as a starting point and from an expert and research gained to kick off our end product. We can all split up on 1 week and get back together and share whatever we have found out about. With all these information we find we can get more info in a lesser amount of time.
