Science with Food: Solar Power Oven
Materials:
- 1 large box with a lid (you can use an old pizza box, but wooden boxes or those hard cardboard boxes work best)
- Black construction paper
- Aluminum foil
- Clear plastic book wrapping paper
- Stick
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Saw/ cutter
- Glue
- 1 pack of Graham crackers
- 1 bag of marshmallows
- Chocolate bars
- Baking parchment paper
Instructions:
1. Remove the lid from the box and set aside. Inside the box, glue a flat piece of aluminum foil to the bottom of the box. Make sure the foil is as smooth as possible and that it covers the entire bottom of the box (you may need more than one piece.)
2. Cover the foil with black construction paper, gluing it onto the sides of the aluminum foil, and making sure it is also smooth over the foil.
3. Use your ruler and pencil to draw a square within the lid of the box. The square should be two inches smaller than the box lid itself. Do this by measuring two inches inward on all sides.
4. Cut the drawn square out on three sides. One side is still connected. This cut out will act like a flap on your box lid.
5. Flip the lid over and lie it flat on the floor or table top. You should see the outline of the flap. Take your ruler and pencil and measure out a piece of clear plastic wrapping slightly larger than your flap.
