This project tests how temperature affects how well a solar panel car works. The car was tested on a cold, sunny day and a warm, sunny day, and its speed was measured each time. The results show that the solar panel car moved faster on the warm, sunny day, helping explain how temperature can change solar panel efficiency.

The project appears to be something you care so much about and this is evident in your presentation. I encourage you to keep pushing and you could end up finding solutions to some of the world’s problem. Your ability to explain the process/concept makes your work very interesting.
Nice work!
Nice work investigating how temperature affects the performance of a solar-powered car. You clearly compared the results from different conditions and shared what you discovered. Well, done on your experiment.
