What is another name you can call "Renewable energy"?

• Moving Electricity

• Alternative energy

• Non-renewable energy

• Electricity

How do you change light into electricity?

• Light is made of particles called photons. Photons move very fast. The photons bump into particle in the solar cell causing the to move. The moving particles create a current of electricity.

• When you hear "solar energy", people are usually talking about energy from the sun that is generated through photovoltaics.

• Electricity flows from a power sources (like a solar panel of battery) through a wire path to an electrical device (like a light or motor) and then back to the power source though another wire.

• Circuits are the way we move electricity. They are electrical systems that allow us to produce, move, store, and control electricity.

How do you read the energy in your lego kit?

• You need to look carefully at theses diagrams to make sure you recognize all the parts of your energy meter.

• Solar panels and turbines change renewable energy into electricity. The electricity charges batteries and the batteries store the electricity until it is needed.

• Current tells us how many electrons flow through the energy meter per second. Current is measured in amps.

• You read the energy by looking at the following data Voltage, Current, Energy in Joule and the Power in watt
