Together, we are going to tackle a project that
combines science and technology.
12
You might want to call us engineers.
13
We are going to use our skills to embark on a
scientific inquiry that will meet a human need.
14
We are going to build a solar oven!
15
There are many different designs for solar ovens.

What are you going to do?

• For your project, you will design and build a
  solar oven.
• You may work in groups of 2 or 3.
• You will be provided with a certain number of
  basic materials pizza boxes, black construction
  paper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, scissors and
  tape.
• Anything else you need, you will have to supply.

21
You will be answering the question Which design
produces the hottest solar oven?
22
Also, you will be meeting a human need by
producing a way to cook using free and abundant
solar power.
