Problem/Purpose: Why are we investigating solar cookers?
Materials: List the materials you used Procedure: Write a detailed procedure (instruction manual) to be used by a village in need of this process Drawing/Photo Data Table/Graph Analysis: 1. Which design (in the class) was the most effective? 2. What variables affect how high the temperature rises? 3. Is solar cooking an effective method to cook food? Why or why not? 4. Why are solar cookers important in developing countries? 5. Compare the use of the sun as an energy sources to other sources such as wood (biomass), fossil fuels, nuclear power and wind Conclusion: Real or Possible sources of error (what could you do to improve your design). Summarize this experience. What did you learn? |
