Solar Cell Charger process
This project was to design a solar cell charger. So that it’s usable outside, and portable so that you can carry it around anywhere you go. This involve a lot of new learning like electricity, working with solar panels, and parallel circuits. We did this project because of teen cell phones use now and days, and need to charge our phones on a go. Also solar energy is a growing resource, and to do something new that we never did before, because some schools don’t get chances to do hands on projects like the Workshop School.
SIMPLE CIRCUIT
We started with the battery which gave us voltage. Voltage gives us energy and it flows through are circuit. My circuit works because of the switch. The switch turns it on and off because when it's open, the copper tape is not connected but when it’s close the electrons can flow through the copper tape. If I had another battery it will light up more but if I added more lights it will be dim more. This is because the battery has all the energy which is needed to power the light.

Final product
My final project is solar cell charger. You can charge your battery pack with the solar panel when the sun hit the solar panel, because the sun hits the panel converting the sun ray's into solar energy, going through the wires turning it into electricity charging the pack and the phone. After the battery pack is charged I can charge my phone. To charge the battery packet full charge, it takes 5 hours to charge. Also it last 1 full charge for the phone.
