Science Project for Kids - Solar Heater Panel

Science Project for Kids - Solar Heater Panel

(3rd Grade Student Science Project Idea)

Present era is the era of science and computer. Analytical power, research and need of entertainment is also growing in men. Value of time has increased a lot. It is very important for the studenta to accelerate in their learning skills and make them relative to time. Keeping in view this need of students, I started to publish curiosity series..

I have published curiosity series related to manufacture and use of science equipment for lower secondary and secondary level home experiments. Some of our topic related to these are - Elementary Science Project, Science Project for Kids, Stem Fair ideas, Fun Science etc.

Now lets come to the project that I am going to show you step by step.

NECESSARY MATERIALS:

1. A big wooden box.
2. A rubber pipe.
3. Nails.
4. Black paint.
5. Mirror. Glass cover.
6. Tap.
7. Source of water.
8. A drum.

METHOD:

Firstly, prepare a big (as per method) wooden box as shown in the picture and paint it black from inside. Then set the mirror in the lid of the box in folding system. Make two holes at points A and B of the box. The hole should be wide enough for the pipe to enter through them. Paint the pipe also black and set it spiral inside the box. Fix the pipe by driving nails in the places marked, as inside the box no to let its spiral shape be deteriorated.

Model: Solar Heater Panel

Now, keep the box slight oblique in a safe place (such as the roof of the house) where the sunlight falls. Join the source of water to point 'A' of the pipe, and either set the tap in point 'B' i.e., the opening the opening of the pipe or set the point stooped into the drum and set the tap at the lower part of the drum. When water flows from the source, i.e., point 'A' to point 'B' , it gets heated and the hot water falls off point 'B' into the drum and is stored.

REASON:

Matters gets heated with the heat energy of the sun. Moreover, a black object highly absorbs heat. Water inside the pipe gets heated with the heat energy and since hot water is light (of low density), it moves upward and then comes out through the hole i.e, point 'B'.
