Great Job on your solar ovens!
1.In your notebook make sure you sketched out how the solar oven works.
Include: How the black paper absorbs the heat from the Sun; How the tin foil reflects the sunlight onto the bottom of the oven; How the transparent plastic allows all light energy to enter the oven.
2> Now you get to design your own solar oven!! Think about some ideas you might have, and then look at these cool ideas!

2.After you have shown your sketches to a teacher, you will then be given paper to make an advertisement for your cooked greenhouse treats! You will need to include how the vegetables are cooked, and how this is beneficial to the environment (because it doesn't waste energy or pollute the air!) Don't forget to explain how the solar oven works!
3.Here is some research on the nutritional benefits of greenhouse vegetables:
