Sun Prints

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students discuss energy and where they can find it. They will then discuss the sun and how it functions as an energy source. Next, students get a piece of black paper and some coins. They go outside and make a design with the coins on top of their paper. After the design is left in the sun for a few minutes, the students remove the coins. Students discover that the energy from the sun faded the paper that wasn't covered by the coins.
