Calculating the Power of the Sun

One of my goals for this podcast is to give teachers some material that they can use in their classroom. This episode will teach you how to run an experiment where your students can calculate the power of the Sun. It's a simple procedure but with huge and fascinating results.You will definitely want a pad of paper and you may need to hit the pause button a time or two. But once you have it worked out, this will become one of your favourite experiments to do with your science class. Also, it can be adapted to any level or grade.Have fun and go measure the Sun!
