Solar Inspirations: Using the Summer Sun to Fuel STE(A)M Learning

Helioseismology, the study of the sun’s vibrations, opens doors to learning across disciplines. Artists can explore light and form, chemists can harness solar power, and physics fans can cook with the sun. Let the season inspire discovery through self-directed learning.

Did you know that studying the sun’s oscillations, known as helioseismology, can benefit those interested in art, chemistry, and physics? Exploring helioseismology can help artists deepen their understanding of light and shadow, and learn about the sun’s dynamic surface and its impact on our perception of color and form. Chemistry enthusiasts can utilize the sun’s energy for distillation and purifying substances, while physics lovers can experiment with solar energy by cooking with the sun or creating sun prints. Let the summer sun be your guide on a journey of self-directed learning in these exciting fields. With helioseismology as your catalyst, new possibilities are sure to shine through.
