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.

In this lesson, students will build on what they understand about heat/energy transfer to research, design, and construct solar cookers.
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
