Twittering from the Solar Oven Cookout

Solar Oven Pictures






The students of science 619 b1 caught on quickly when the idea of solar ovens came into the picture. As you can tell they all grabbed the idea and set their minds to it and started constructing their ovens from the start. Today we had the first testing to the ovens and most of the ovens got over a hundred and a couple over 200f. The students ran around the field of ovens sharing their ideas of reflection, instulation and what they used. Everyone got the ide of using the sun's rays and using mirrors or tin foil to make the ray's travel to where they wanted them to go(in their ovens). At the end everyone rejoiced in what they and the sun's energy made together.
