Hi Mohammed,

I found a neat little project that addresses your question: http://www.nmsea.org/Curriculum/4_6/piz ... _ovens.htm

Instead of just copying the protocol, however, try to think about how you can make a better solar oven? Think about the factors that are involved in tranferring heat to the foods. How does the angle of the sun play a part? How can you enhance the rays of the sun at different times of the day?

I hope this helps!

Dear Expert

Thank you very much for your kind effort. It was really eppriciated by my class mates in South Africa. My teacher has used this idea for her other pupils as well.

Best wishes,
Mohammed Seedat
