At-Home Stem Activities: Make a Solar Oven

For New Hampshire’s April school vacation week, when none of us is actually going anywhere, we decided to focus on things we could do if we did have some sort of wild vacation adventure and ended up on a deserted island.

Today, we’ll cook lunch on our “island” locale by constructing a simple solar-powered oven. With no more fuel needs than the power of the Sun, this activity is as “green” as it is practical! Note: with cutting and heating components, adult supervision for this activity is a MUST.
