Solar energy, the types of energy that arise from it, and how we can use this energy while preserving the environment from pollution and preserving the natural ecosystem.

Our planet's changing climate is a diverse topic that allows students to brainstorm, discuss, and think about the best ways to protect our planet Earth. This project will be created by students in the seventh grade, age 12-13.Solar energy is the main source of life found on Earth. My  students and I will work together to develop a project based on solar energy, the types of energy that arise from it, and finally how we can use this energy while preserving the environment from pollution and preserving the natural ecosystem.Open discussion: Solar energy and how we can use it in our lives without harming our planet.Students will explain why food energy comes from the Sun.We will deal with the process of photosynthesis. Thanks to this process, plants receive energy from the Sun in orderto grow. The students will accompany this information with a graph where they show that the Sun is a source of energy for the plants and animals that we eat.We will talk about the importance of vegetation in our lives. For a planet to be as green and forested as possible as well as a rich atmosphere full of oxygen.We will use and discuss the Sun as a fuel energy source. Students will learn how biofuels and fossil fuels are created.A discussion on the benefits and negative consequences that have come as a result of their use by mankind.We will prepare sensitizing inform posters which we will stick around the city to make people aware of environmental protection and that changes will start with us. We will discuss the greenhouse effect, how we can help reduce the greenhouse effect, and how to regulate the climate on Earth.Wind and water energy and their importance in human life.Students will explain how wind and rain are formed thanks to solar energy. Students will answer the question: How can we use these energies for the benefit of humanity without harming the environment? They will give different ideas. These ideas will be illustrated with examples from everyday life. They will describe several methods of producing electricity from wind and water energy.Students will also collect information on the use of solar energy directly. Discussion on solar panels and the benefits of their use. Assess the importance of using solar panels by evaluating the preservation of the environment from pollution as well as the preservation of the natural ecosystem.We will visit a complex where solar panels are installed. Students will observe the construction of a solar panel. They will discuss with each other their construction, parts, and energy conversions in the solar panel. The tools for building the solar panel model will be prepared. Open discussion: How a solar panel is built. Students will bring the materials for the construction of the solar panel and will receive information about the types of panels, their use and purpose, and their advantages. They will build their own solar panel.
