How can the power of the Sun keep a school running—even during a storm?

In this episode of Historical Perspectives, students follow Sunny Sam and classmates as they explore how solar panels turn sunlight into electricity and why renewable energy matters in real life. From learning how solar cells work to seeing how stored energy can keep lights on during power outages, this story connects science concepts to everyday experiences. Along the way, students discover how engineers design solar solutions, test ideas through hands-on experiments like solar ovens, and think creatively about how solar energy can be used in their own communities.

This engaging, story-based episode helps students understand solar energy, problem-solving, and the importance of planning for the future using clean, renewable resources.
