Solar Cooking (Lesson Plan)
(Warming Up to the Properties of Solar Radiation & Its Uses in Our Homes)
Suggested Grade Level 6-8
Overview
Students experiment with a virtual solar cooker to discover the mathematical relationships among reflection, transmission and absorption. They won’t stop there, though! Students then apply their knowledge to building and testing a solar cooker of their own invention. In an extension, students investigate how these principles can be used as sustainable energy sources for homes in Pennsylvania through passive solar heating. Approximately two to three (2-3) 50-minute class periods are required for this lesson.
