Science Fair Final Project:
For this project we were given a list of all the physics concepts that we learned this year and told to pick one that we wanted to expand upon. I chose to focus more on sun angles which we learned about when we worked on energy efficient designs. For my project I decided to make a solar oven out of a pizza box. I covered the inside bottom of the pizza box with black paper. I then cut out a part of the lid, lifted it up, and covered it with tin foil. After that I covered the hole in the top with plastic wrap.

Reflection: I really enjoyed doing this project. I thought it was pretty easy because I had used one before at a Girl Scout Solar celebration in 2nd grade. This helped to give me a base idea of how it would work. It was nice to not work with other people because I didn't have to worry about making time to work on it that would fit in with other people's schedules.
