Build a Solar Oven
This project is fairly easy and older kids can do most of the steps themselves. Just have an adult use a craft knife or scissors to cut the solar oven door.
Cut the "oven door" flap on the box. The size depends on what you are cooking
and how much access you need.
Decorate your solar oven with sharpies. (This is a fun optional step)
Glue black construction paper to the inside bottom of the box. The black will
absorb the heat.
Glue aluminum foil to the inside of the door. The foil reflects the sun into the
oven.
Tape a plastic covering over the opening of the door. This will allow the air
inside to heat up and keep it trapped inside the box.
Add Graham Crackers, marshmallow and chocolate inside the oven. Place your
oven outside in the sun. Tape a wooden skewer to prop the lid open at a ideal
angle.
The chocolate will begin to melt first, but wait for marshmallow to puff up. Then
Enjoy!**
