I try to include something different into our schooling each week, otherwise we can easily get into the same ol' rut. Now, with staying home more, I feel it imperative to make sure I plan one fun project weekly.

While looking for ecosystem links to begin our study for September, I came across   *How to Build a Pizza Box Solar Oven*.

Seems easy enough, so we'll try it this week.

Oh, Cay - we made these at group learning a few weeks back. It was my turn to be the facilitator for the group and the topic was energy/electricity. We made lemon batteries and the pizza box solar ovens.

We cooked in our ovens last weekend.

What did you cook? Did it REALLY work? This would be great for emergency or disaster preparedness...

Thanks -- this is a great (and timely) topic!

Mary,

Since the pizza box solar ovens are shallow, you can only cook smaller items.

About ten years ago, the older three boys and I made a larger solar ove, with a bigger removalists box and we cooked tuna casseroles and similar foods in that.

With the pizza box solar oven, we made s'mores ( is that cooking? ) and scones. The scones ( and cookies, if you do cookies) don't brown but cook well.
