A true oven can reach temperatures far above the heat trapped inside a pizza box.

You will cut a flap out of the pizza box. Older kids could design their own boxes or conduct scientific experiments by varying factors like the box size oven door size construction paper color cooking time outside temperature etc. To take food out of the oven open up the lid of the pizza box and using oven mitts or potholders lift the glass dish out of the oven. 1 solar bowling oven this oven consists of two nesting glass bowls and a reflector made from cardboard covered with aluminum foil.

The solar oven you build in this activity is a relatively simple one made out of a pizza box aluminum foil plastic wrap and a sheet of black paper. On a sunny warm day your oven could reach about 200 degrees f. The solar oven you made is more correctly known as a solar cooker. Your cooker works on the principle of collecting heat energy and retaining or directing it for cooking.

You covered the flap with foil so that the foil would reflect sunlight into the oven. The solar oven you will build in this activity is a relatively simple one made out of a pizza box aluminum foil plastic wrap and a sheet of black paper. Easy solar oven project supplies. Ovens like this one are called collector boxes because they collect the sunlight inside.

You cut a flap out of the pizza box s lid and line this flap with aluminum foil so that sunlight can be reflected off of the foil and into the box.
