  2. Purpose • The purpose of our experiment was to compare results of solar reception from ground level to at a higher altitude. • We included sensors to monitor barometric pressure and air temperature to see if the results of those various sensors would differentiate the solar reception.

  3. Background • Based on our internet searches, we found that one square meter of a solar panel receives around 100 to 200 watts of solar electricity. • We have also based our study on a cause that has been reused in many past projects conducted for science, yet we as a team still have high hopes that we will forge useful data to the world of science.

  4. Hypothesis and Test • We expected to record a somewhat different change in solar reception considering our proposition that the expanded space between the various make-up of air molecules (as in the higher atmosphere) would allow the sun rays to travel more efficiently though the atmosphere, producing a stronger amount of energy. • We tested this by sending our gondola up equipped with an arrangement of small solar panels connected to a Labpro. • We also sent up an air thermometer and barometer to see if these two variables had any effect on the solar reception.

  5. Results • In our experiment, we had nearly no results. • As our results came, we realized that the barometric pressure, air temperature, and solar energy did not change. • As we recorded our data we discovered that as the time went on the data from our sensors did not change. • The barometric pressure stayed around 100-101 Pascal range, air temperature stayed around 25-26 degrees Celsius, and the solar energy stayed around 4-5 volts.

  6. Analysis • The data we collected in the experiment shows that virtually no change in solar reception occurred. • This was entirely against our hypothesis, and basically did nothing for the benefit of anyone. • Perhaps we were too close to the ground, or the lack of sunshine served as a blockade to getting the results we expected. • But the bottom line is that we did not accomplish the theoretical expectations we had for our experiment.

  7. Conclusion • As of conclusion, we discovered that when doing an experiment you should make sure you have the proper conditions required for you experiment. • Also, keep track of all needed items, have good time management, and that you run your experiment enough to get the required repetitive results. • In our experiment, the weather qualities where not good conditions for an experiment requiring the sun like ours did. • If we could run our experiment again, we would go higher and on a day with clear skies.
