Week 3 Reflection Marcus Er

Some questions that are going around in my head:

Can we use mirrors to trap solar energy?

3 things i learned:

Solar energy can be used to treat water, cooking and processing heat

Ideas that I agree with:

Solar energy can be researched more

Week 3 Reflection Lim Wei Jie

Some questions that are still going around in my head:

How is solar energy converted into energy? (a.k.a electricity)

3 things I learned:

Solar energy can be used for urban planning, lighting and water heating.

Ideas that I agree with:

Solar energy is very powerful.

Week 3 Reflection Lim Wen Liang

Some questions that are going around in my head:

Can we use moonlight energy?

3 things I learned:

I learnt that solar energy can be used for agriculture, heating and generating electricity.

Ideas that I agree with:

Harnessing moonlight energy

Week 3 Reflection Samuel Lim

Some questions that are still going around in my head:

How efficient are solar panels?

3 things I learned: Solar Panels are very expensive, Solar technology is not very advanced and solar energy is not very powerful

Ideas that I agree with:

Solar technology should be researched more

Lesson 3

Title of our project:P.S.P. S.L.I.M. (Project Solar Panel Solar Light Is Misunderstood)

Facts
What I know

1.Solar energy is free.
2.If it’s raining, it’s just too bad.
3.It’s quite expensive to install a solar panel.
4.It uses solar cells

Ideas
What I think
1.If we could have “moonlight energy”?
2. If solar energy could still be used in a power failure
3.If solar energy could be used to power air-cons so that there wouldn’t be global warming.
4.If solar panels could be cheaper
Learning Issues
What I want to find out
1.If we could try install a small version of solar panel in every house
2. If like NEwater the gov. could distribute the solar energy together with the normal energy in households
Action Plan
What I can do
1. Do research on it

Facts
What I know
Solar energy is the cleanest alternate form of energy, it is only possible to get solar energy in the day, and that it relies heavily on the sun.

Ideas
What I think
I think that solar energy research should be given more priority as it is the only form of energy that can be constantly replenished each day.
Learning Issues
What I want to find out
I want to find out how effective solar energy is.

Action Plan
What I can do
I can search for it on google and look out for the proper data
