Activity Description

Instructions:

  1. Try to identify as many different uses as you can about what the sunlight can do for us in our daily life. Think outside of the box, there will be many more uses than you expect (for example think about health, orientation, plants, climate etc.).
  2. Make a list of the uses you found (which can be in writing or in schematic drawings, for example)
  3. Can you live one day in the coming week by relying only on solar energy? Are you ready to try it out? What if you had to do so for your whole life?

Did you know?…

  • Not all the “uses” of the sun are positive, some can also be harmful. In many cases, it’s the dose that makes the poison. Too much sunlight can be harmful in some circumstances, but without the sun, life on earth would not be possible.
