Solar Oven Pizza Box Science Experiment

Older kids could design their own boxes or conduct scientific experiments by varying factors like the box size oven door size construction paper color cooking time outside temperature etc.

Solar oven pizza box science experiment.

Wrapped aluminium foil around the pizza box solar oven lid cut out a sheet of aluminium foil so that it is larger than the cardboard flap you have made in step one. A true oven can reach temperatures far above the heat trapped inside a pizza box. We talked about what was happening while we waited for the s mores to bake. 2 shoe box solar oven this is very similar to the pizza box solar oven but will hold a little bit larger cooking pot.

Your cooker works on the principle of collecting heat energy and retaining or directing it for cooking. So there are more menu possibilities. To take food out of the oven open up the lid of the pizza box and using oven mitts or potholders lift the glass dish out of the oven. Wrap this aluminium foil around the inner side of this flap so that it faces downward into the pizza box.

The black paper. You will notice that food takes longer to cook in a solar oven than a regular one. The heat from the sun is trapped inside of your pizza box solar oven and it starts getting very hot. You will cut a flap out of the pizza box.

The solar oven you build in this activity is a relatively simple one made out of a pizza box aluminum foil plastic wrap and a sheet of black paper. The solar oven you made is more correctly known as a solar cooker. You cut a flap out of the pizza box s lid and line this flap with aluminum foil so that sunlight can be reflected off of the foil and into the box. Here are 6 solar oven projects for kids to make.

Ovens like this one are called collector boxes because they collect the sunlight inside. Use the tape to secure the foil. You covered the flap with foil so that the foil would reflect sunlight into the oven. Easy solar oven project supplies.

1 solar bowling oven this oven consists of two nesting glass bowls and a reflector made from cardboard covered with aluminum foil.
