Bring any additional solar cooker supplies. Friday, January 11, 2019 A-Day Objective: YWBAT build a solar cooker that will get hot enough to cook a s’more. Drill: How will you use the process of concentration in your solar cooker? Homework Bring any additional solar cooker supplies.
Answer Concentration of the sun's rays is performed most often by reflecting panels, petals and such surfaces that can "focus" or concentrate the rays of light (UV) to a point or concentration. Without a means to concentrate the sun's rays it can take longer to heat objects or surfaces.
Did you know…? It is not the sun’s heat that cooks the food, nor is it the outside ambient temperature, though this can somewhat affect the rate or time required to cook, but rather it is the suns rays that are converted to heat energy that cook the food; and this heat energy is then retained by the pot and the food by the means of a covering or lid.
