What is Solar Energy

What is solar energy? Energy that comes from the sun not only sustains life, it can also be harnessed by technology and converted to electricity. This science worksheet introduces children to the concept of solar energy, along with two examples of solar-powered technologies, solar cells and solar panels. Students then imagine and draw a picture of a car powered by the sun. This creative worksheet, designed for a third or fourth grade physical science curriculum, also makes a great STEM activity.
