This project tests how different amounts of sunlight affect how fast a solar-powered car can go. The car was tested in full sun at different times of the day, on cloudy days, and at night, and its speed was measured. The results show that the car moved fastest in strong sunlight, especially around noon, and did not move when there was little or no sunlight.
This project demonstrates a clear investigation into how sunlight affects the performance of a solar-powered car. The student collected measurable data under different lighting conditions and used graphs and tables to interpret the results.
