This document outlines a lesson plan for having students build solar-powered cars and create wiki pages to document their projects. Students will build solar cars from kits, take photos and videos of their cars, and upload their media to wiki pages. On their pages, students will include a photo of their car, an energy chain diagram, a video of the car moving, and a paragraph explaining how it works along with researched facts about solar cars. Students will provide feedback on each other's pages.
