Build Your Own Solar Oven!
Summer’s not over yet! With this printable pattern, you can turn cardboard into a working solar oven and see the power of the sun in action. We'll email you a PDF with a pattern template that you can print out at home, glue onto cardboard, and start building. Use it again and again whenever you want a fun project (or a snack)!
What’s Inside:
-
Printable pattern pieces
-
A guide to slot-based construction + layered assembly
-
Step-by-step video instructions (linked here)
What You’ll Need:
-
Cardboard
-
Tinfoil
-
Double-sided tape (or glue)
-
Masking tape
-
Plastic wrap (or a clear bag)
-
(Optional) Black marker or paint
- Goodies to melt! (crayons, s'mores, nachos, mini-pizzas!)
Reminders, you'll need direct sunlight for the solar oven to work and small, thin portions will always melt or cook faster. This project will work in the winter on a sunny day, but expect your cook times may be longer!
