Jason, for 9-11 year-olds this curriculum may be useful as a starting
point, and we've got some others for different age groups.

The "solar powered system" experiment is designed for a cell so we
suggested the load be a small propeller. Obviously, this would be a bad
idea with a 250W module since an unsuspecting kid would then be launched
into space, but a small module and a pump could be a fun educational
display.

I have been approached by a local elementary school to develop a very
small PV related experiment or system that is appropriate for children
aged 9-11. Not having kids myself, I have no idea where to start with
this. They are fine with mounting a PV panel on the roof, wall, or
ground. They want something interesting and/or interactive that the
students can monitor over time.
Has anyone done something like this that would be suitable?
