Solar Power Calendar STEM Project

Project Overview: In this fun and innovative project, your child will learn how to create their own simple solar panel system and a homemade digital calendar. They will gain first-hand knowledge on how solar power works and can set a timer to remind them of important dates like '06-23-2025'. This project can even be paired with a fun and tasty edible slime activity by adding food coloring to the slime that corresponds with the color code of the days on their calendar. Ingredients:

1. Solar Panel Kit (Available at local hardware stores or online)
2. Digital Alarm Clock Module
3. Clear Plastic Case
4. Conductive Wire
5. Soldering Iron

Instructions: 1. Extracting the Solar Panel:

You will need to unpack the solar panel kit as per the instructions provided. This will be the power source for your digital calendar, hence place it in a spot where it gets adequate sunlight.

2. Connect Solar Panel to the Clock:

• Use the conductive wire to connect the solar panel to the digital alarm clock module.
• This can be a bit tricky so adults should help with this step. You will need the soldering iron to solder the wires onto the connections.
• Ensure the wire is securely attached to both the solar panel and to the clock module.

3. Place the Alarm Clock into the Case:

Once the solar panel and clock are connected, place them into the clear plastic case. You can use additional wire or tape to secure the two items if necessary.

4. Power On:

With everything securely contained, place the entire setup under sunlight. Your solar-power digital calendar should come to life! Now, you can set the alarm to mark the date '06-23-2025'.

5. Color Code the Days:

This is where the edible slime activity comes in. Create a color code system for the days using the different food coloring. For example, you could use red for Mondays, blue for Tuesdays, and so on.

6. Apply the Color Code:

Now, apply this color code to the slime. Every day, match the color of your slime to the color of the day on your new solar power digital calendar. This adds a cool and interactive element to the learning experience.

This instructive yet entertaining project is the perfect way for children to learn about renewable energy and practical applications of solar power. Happy Learning!
