Solar Cooker Progress
We started working on our solar cookers again. We had to make some big changes with our cooker. Instead of a panel cooker, we made a box cooker. Even a little bit of wind blew over the panel cooker and it wasn't very sturdy. We tested the box cooker, and felt heat inside when we put our hands in it. In the future, we need to figure out how to keep it insulated. I'm really excited for the cookout because I'm excited to see how it really cooks the food.

Solar Cooker Project
Recently, we have been building solar cookers in our science class. We are trying to find a way to make a successful cooker that could be used in other countries that don't have the luxury of ovens. Along with building them, we encountered many challenges. My group was going to build a different type of cooker in the beginning until we couldn't figure out how to construct it. It wasn't folding how it was supposed to in the instructions. Instead, we turned it into a simpler cooker. We turned it into a panel cooker. There is a piece of cardboard covered in foil on the bottom then another one standing up folded a little bit inwards on both sides. It is going to cook effectively because the sun hits all sides of the foil and reflects a lot of light onto the food. Down below is a picture of what it looks like.
