Whew! Here Comes the Sun with Its Solar Heat!

What do you do when you're done 
with your distance learning pizza box 
and you're studying astronomy?

Make a solar oven, of course!

Supplies:

Pizza box, box cutter, aluminum foil, black paper, 
plastic wrap, tape, ruler,

and A LOT OF GLUE.

We set them up in the morning, hoping for the sun to come out.
The temperature was about 60° outside.

Whew, the sun came out as forecasted. 

The temperature inside our ovens was above 110°, 
the highest our thermometers read.
(Ms. Wollum is such a princi-PAL!)

We assembled our mini s'mores, closed the lid, and waited...

It worked! The sun heat up our ovens 
enough to make yummy s'mores.

The heat from the sun was enough to make s'mores 
even on a cool day. 

They were finger licking good!

May I please have s'more!?
