{Sun!}

Our sun was out for some great solar cooking!

Yesterday, we had lots of sun for a wonderful presentation on solar energy with Mr. Dan Redmond.  Students learned how solar energy can be used as an alternative form of energy to what we currently use--coal.  Students went outdoors to experience how a solar panel can power a fan, as well as to cook some yummy brownies!  With wonderful videos and hands on experiments, students got a first hand look at how the sun can be such a powerful renewable resource.
