Solar panels are here!

Oct 14, 2015

Solar panels are here!Thanks again to all of you for your donations! The solar panels have been purchased and installed in the field, and they are working BEAUTIFULLY. Here is a picture of them in action:
                
The panels are screwed to the post for support and the red cable is connected to my battery, out of frame. This powers the stereo and speakers. They've been out for over a week with no problems! 
I'll write another lab note with the results of this experiment- which was made possible by you all!

About This Project

Does traffic noise negatively affect frogs? Getting the jump on a potential threat.

University of Central Florida

Frogs are common visitors to our backyards, and these fascinating creatures are also great indicators of our environment's health. However, they face a number of threats, leaving many species endangered.

My project investigates how traffic noise, a widespread source of disturbance, may be affecting frog movement, reproduction, and stress. To do this, I need to obtain solar panels to play traffic noise in a remote area.

Any donations past $225 will be used to keep this experiment going and growing!
