Warm-up (10 minutes):

● Begin the lesson by asking the students, "What is energy?" Allow them to
share their ideas and discuss their responses as a class.
● Provide simple examples of energy, such as a moving car, a spinning top, or a
bouncing ball. Ask the students to identify the source of energy in each
example.
Warm-up activity (10 minutes):
● Begin the lesson by asking the students to stand up and do some simple
exercises, such as jumping jacks or stretching.
● Ask the students how they feel after exercising and prompt them to discuss
their observations, such as feeling energized or tired.
● Explain that the ability to do work or make things happen is called energy.
Lesson 1: Introduction to Energy Sources

Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify different energy sources,

including solar energy, and understand their importance.

Engage (10 minutes):

● Begin the lesson by asking students if they know what energy is and where it
comes from.
● Show pictures of various energy sources (e.g., Sun, wind, water, fossil fuels)
and ask students to identify them.
Explore (15 minutes):
● Introduce the concept of solar energy and explain that the Sun is the ultimate
source of energy for our planet.
● Show pictures or diagrams of solar panels and explain how they capture
energy from the Sun.
● Discuss the importance of solar energy in generating electricity and its impact
on the environment.
Explain (15 minutes):
● Provide a brief explanation of other energy sources, such as wind energy,
hydroelectric power, and fossil fuels.
● Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each energy source, including
their impact on the environment.
Elaborate (15 minutes):
● Divide students into small groups and provide them with pictures or cards
representing different energy sources.
● Ask each group to sort the pictures/cards into renewable and non-renewable
energy sources.
● Have each group present their sorting and explain their reasoning.
Evaluate (10 minutes):
● Conclude the lesson by reviewing the different energy sources discussed.
● Ask students to create a poster or drawing that showcases the importance of
solar energy in our daily lives.
● Allow students to share their creations with the class.

Lesson 2: Exploring Solar Energy and Solar Panels

Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to explain how solar energy is

captured and used through solar panels.

Engage (10 minutes):

● Begin the lesson by asking students to recall what they learned about solar
energy in the previous lesson.
● Show pictures of solar panels and ask students if they know what they are
and how they work.
Explore (15 minutes):
● Provide a simple explanation of how solar panels work:
● Sunlight hits the solar panels and is converted into electricity.
● The electricity can be used to power homes, schools, and other
buildings.
Explain (15 minutes):
● Use diagrams or interactive tools to show the internal structure of a solar
panel.
● Discuss the role of solar cells in capturing sunlight and converting it into
electricity.
● Explain the concept of a solar power system, including the components like
inverters and batteries.
Elaborate (15 minutes):
● Conduct a hands-on activity where students can build a simple solar-powered
device, such as a small fan or a toy car.
● Provide students with solar panels, motors, and other necessary materials.
● Guide them through the process of assembling the device and explain how
solar energy powers it.
Evaluate (10 minutes):
● Conclude the lesson by having students present their solar-powered devices
to the class.
● Ask them to explain how solar energy is used to power their devices.
● Encourage students to share their thoughts on the benefits of using solar
energy in our everyday lives.
