Hot Science!
Persistent cloudy weather has hampered our solar oven experiments. Last week, we were able to get our ovens out and the results were quite tasty! Despite the 40 degree temps, some kids used proper engineering principles of reflection, absorption, heat trap, and sun angle. They got their ovens up to a toasty 150-200 degrees!
