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 geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
In the lesson plan, students will embark on an exciting engineering challenge as they construct and program their own robot rovers to strategize a mission to the Moon. Throughout the lesson, students
