Solar oven

Here is a simple way to understand the power of renewable energy by making a DIY solar oven. It was a sunny day when I decided to try out this science project with my kids. The idea was to use the sun's heat to bake cookies. I gathered my materials: a pizza box, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and tape. It sounded easy, but making it work was a fun challenge. This solar oven science project showed me renewable energy is simple and powerful, great for kids to learn about. I encourage you to try…
