Extension and Literacy tasks

1. Stellar Energy

Make a poster to describe and explain how thermal energy is generated and transported in stars. Does it work the same in ALL stars? Remember to use correct key terminology in your explanations. Use the video below to help you and any other resources you can find! Why is conduction not important?

2. Solar Panels on the Roof

Find out about solar panels and make an advertizement leaflet to send out to the public as a campaign for renewable energy resources. It should describe how the solar panel works (not too much detail is needed here) it should state and explain advantages and disadvantages, as well as an example of a cost estimate and an estimate of the 'payback time'. You can use the videos below and this website www.wholesalesolar.com/solar-information/solar-cost or any other sources to help you!
