As a culminating activity to go
along with our study of energy and heat transfer students will be asked to
follow a specific design to build a solar oven. We hope to use these solar
ovens to melt chocolate and marshmallows to make a delicious s’more.
We need a few materials from home to make this project work. I have posted a list of items we will be using and have indicated which need to come from home and which will be provided by the school.
Procedure:
·
Students will be given specific directions, in
class, for construction.
·
Construction will take place Thursday and Friday,
June 9th and 10th. Therefore construction materials must
be brought to school no later than Wednesday June 8th.
·
The testing of the ovens will take place the week
of June 13th –June 16th. The actual cooking day will be
determined based on the week’s weather forecast. Below is the list of materials needed to complete the project. Thank you in advance. Anything that you can provide will be of help. If you have any questions please contact me.
