Build a Pizza Box Solar Oven
Lesson Description:
The sun is hot enough to bake food. here's how to make a simple solar oven that gets hot enough to warm up cookies and other treats, like s'mores. it won't get really hot, though, so you can't bake things in it and you won't burn yourself when playing with it. be sure to have an adult help you with this!
