Sunergy for the New Millennium is a collaborative project that explores solar energy by having students construct a solar collector.They will record the change in water temperature and compare their results to participating schools at various latitudes. This is an interdisciplinary project that aligns with Core Curriculum Standards. Students will use the internet to correspond with participating schools and to post their data.
This project is open to students anywhere in the world, grades 6-8. We especially encourage schools in the Southern Hemisphere, Tropics and high latitudes to participate.
Participants must perform the experiment a minimum of 2 times between April 23 - May 11, 2001
Submit data by May 11, 2001. Data from all schools will be available as it is submitted. Use this form to sort the information and analyze the data..
