4/5's are Cookin' in Solar Ovens!

Our 4/5 students created solar ovens from pizza boxes using what they have learned about reflecting light from the sun into a sealed box creating a greenhouse effect.  Each box was  lined with aluminum foil, sealed with plastic wrap and held a Vernier temperature probe.  They collected temperature data for over 20 minutes, noticing different occurrences that affected their data such as shadows.
