For this assignment, you will research how to design and build a solar cooker. Search reliable online sites for “solar cookers.” After getting the materials you need from your teacher, you will present your initial
design as a drawing or illustration. You will then build your device and test its efficiency by warming up a
hot dog until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, recording how long it took you to reach this
temperature. Based on your tests, you will make recommendations on how to improve the design of your
solar cooker, and then present your final design and the logic that supports it in a lab report. Your lab
report should include a title, a list of materials that you used to build your solar cooker, a drawing of your
initial design, observations from your experimental tests, recommendations for a final design based on
what you know about radiation, a drawing of your final design, and the results of the efficiency test. To
help you write your lab report, there is a Student Worksheet on the last few pages of this document.
