Solar power

This is California and the songs tell us it is always sunny in California. Well, that is Southern Cali, here on the Central Coast it is not always sunny, and not quite as warm. However, as we watch the weather maps for the rest of the country and for Sweden where the cousins are, we feel fortunate. In comparison we have a very mild winter. For science last week, the boys experimented with solar power, understanding when and how it is suitable, what works and how much solar power is needed to power small cars, and wind mills. They had fun, learned some and definitely got some Vitamin D.
