Solar Oven Cooking Project
This project takes place over approximately 10 days (2 weeks), 60 minutes per day. Students work in groups to cook in a solar oven, but parts of the project can be done individually as well. Students learn the benefits of using a solar oven, how different types of solar ovens work, and why Phoenix weather is useful for solar oven. They also write a recipe and procedure for cooking in a solar oven, create a technical drawing of a solar oven, and explain the environmental impacts of solar ovens.

Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data
Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and
In this lesson, students will build on what they understand about heat/energy transfer to research, design, and construct solar cookers.
