Solar Cookers

For the Art Track for Junior Week and Tween Week we have made solar cookers. 

I did this with my ESL students at the end of the year as well. 

Pizza boxes are ideal, but we had to improvise for a few campers this week when we ran out. 

The boys are both campers this week, as this week is for 11-13 year olds. Caleb is also going to a Day Camp (6-12) and Josiah is going to Teen Week (13 and up). Eleonora doesn’t get to go until Day Camp in July, but that’s not stopping her from jumping right in and acting like a camper now. 

I didn’t take any outside pictures today, but here are Lydia and Eleo with last week’s bunch. 

This was Lydia’s and it was so cloudy that the temperature in the box only got up to 75 degrees. Our record at school was 150, and today, Josiah’s box beat it with 153.  That temperature certainly melts the chocolate but it doesn’t do much in the way of toasting the marshmallows. We sure did have a good time though.
