nA Teacher's Guide will be provided to the teachers of the Solar Lamp lessons. This document has the purpose of guiding the teachers making the actual lesson plans. I have created the guide with 4 suggested lessons with classroom exercises, science topic summaries, illustrations, and thought-provoking questions. nRubric was created to guide assessment standards. The overall objective is to foster creative thinking and ingenuity in the students.
- I.Solar tea– basic (not mathematical) level study of light conversion to energy - by making sun tea.
- II.Electricity and instrument usage teaches basic electricity, ohms law calculations, and practical usage of multi-meter and hand tools.
- III.Fruit battery – basic level (not mathematical) study of chemical storage of energy -by making a battery out of a piece of fruit.
- IV.LED and semiconductors - Very basic (not mathematical) semiconductor theory and LED operation. n
nThe Teacher's Guide is being translated by my friend Melinda, a Chinese High School English Teacher, before being distributed along with the Solar Lamp to the target schools.
