Objective
| To make individuals realize how important renewable energy is and to make them aware of the damages that people have caused to nature such as climate change and environmental pollution and to look at their environment with a critical eye. |
Subject
| Producing clean energy through the use of renewable energy. |
Preparation of the project and materials used | First, we cut a piece of styrofoam for the base that will keep our model upright and stable. Then we glued our stick skewers, which will support the funnel, to each other with the help of silicone to extend them, and we cut pieces of acetate paper to keep the funnel in the upper part of the sticks we glued, and we glued them to the stick bottle with silicone and made the funnel stand upright and upright. After that, we opened the ends of the paper clips with the help of tape on the opposite sides of the funnel we fixed and fixed them to the funnel and then we moved on to the construction of the propeller. First, we fixed the larger parts of the diameters of the two bottle corks to each other with the help of silicone, then we pierced through the middle with the help of a dremel and passed the stick through it and fixed it again with silicone. Then we cut 4 pallets from acetate paper, then we cut the corks that we have fixed with the help of a utility knife and the distance between the two scratches will be equal in all of them and we made 4 deep scratches so that our prepared pallets can enter and we sprayed silicone into our scratches and glued the astet paper to the corks. Then we placed this assembly into our paper clips that we glued on top of our funnel, and then we joined the propeller system we had prepared to the dynamo with silicone, then we cut the styrofoam up to the height of the funnel and glued it to the dynamo to keep the dynamo stable in the air, so that the dynamo stood stably, and in order to make our assembly more robust, we cut 3 more pieces of this size and strengthened the assembly with them. Then we started the construction of the road for the road, first of all, we cut it from styrofoam and black cardboard in length: 15 cm, width: 50 cm and glued them to each other with the help of silicone, then we made a traffic light from styrofoam foam and made a hole with the help of scissors, we added the appearance of a traffic light by passing an LED through it, then we completed our project by performing the wiring process. |
Outcome Gains
| As a result of the activity, they will realize the destructive effect of fossil fuels and realize how important renewable energy is, so they will be more sensitive to nature and the environment and raise awareness of the people around them. |

“1-First of all, I covered the outside of the cardboard I used with fondant cardboard. For this, I glued a fondant cardboard close to the open version of the storage design of the house to the cardboard and cut off the excess parts. https://drive.google.com/file/d/14sJO26BxhoAUTgmxjsf1nDLZehUOg0ZF/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f9UBar0El_KJ_2VkLnX97NYVdGJc645T/view?usp=sharing The image of the house at the end of the coating is as follows: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rlFqSjsmil3GysvHVHD2h9k_K3c8p1t6/view?usp=sharing
2- I folded a cardboard proportional to the box I used into 2 pieces exactly in the middle and in this way I created my roof. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SqVpgRaiWseMNMw5pBQFOhl3PhglGuYH/view?usp=sharing Note: I did not complete the other parts of the roof to make the circuit visible.
3-I connected the cables to the + and – poles of my solar panel by soldering with the soldering machine I preheated. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19O4Hv_eCoGqfAW-aNzgPrrR3s0NuX9mc/view?usp=sharing

9-After these, I drilled 2 holes in the body part of the house and fixed the switch to one and the lamp to the other. Also, after installing the switch, I passed one of the cables from the switch to the lamp through the switch so that access to the lamp can only be provided when the switch is closed. In addition to the switch, I drilled small holes on 2 sides of the lamp to allow the wires to come to the lamp and I fixed those wires to the lamp. https://drive.google.com/file/d/17b9i5TTy8CkOrZGgBy0R3nCDzXkUh1p0/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JjaGmHFFwco56k9OzDk_JjJZToH_uQh0/view?usp=sharing
