Question by Batia Efrat: What is the easiest and cheapest way to use solar energy in a classroom?


Hi, I’m doing a school project. We are required to design a classroom which exists in a “storage” container, with the idea that this classroom could host 25 learners and be self-sufficient so that it would be able to be used in rural settlements.
What is the easiest and cheapest method of using solar energy? The energy would only need to be used in winter for lighting and maybe a heater/radiator of some sort.
Ideas????

I already have seen Solar Lighting being put in our new schools where I live and I really think it will save on the cost for heat; electrcity. I`m not really sure if you can buy a piece of solar panels from a store that carries it or maybe you could ask a Salesperson if they have any scraps that you could use for your project. It wouldn`t hurt to ask. Good Luck!

I’m not exactly sure which type of Teacher you’re talking about because there lots of different kinds, but I’ll give you some general information about them I found online..

“Depending on the subject they teach, high school teachers may work in classrooms, science labs, computer labs, or machine shops. Typically, they deal with 20 to 35 students at a time. In addition to teaching, they have to maintain order in the classroom and discipline disruptive students. Teachers usually spend many evening and weekend hours preparing lessons and grading assignments; on average, they work about 50 hours a week. Most teachers work a 9 or 10-month school year, with 2 or 3 months off during the summer.
Teachers tend to have a very high level of job satisfaction. Helping young people learn and grow can be very rewarding.”
