Hi Kennedy,

This looks like a fun project! There are a couple different types of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. Your solar oven is heating up due to radiation. Here's a link to a similar activity that includes a bit more information on heat transfer: https://orise.orau.gov/resources/k12/do ... r-oven.pdf
