Algebra Accelerated

2. Purpose
Write what the purpose of this project is about. You can summarize what is in the project packet in your own words.

3. Materials
List the materials used

4. Procedures
Describe the steps you took building your cooker. Add pictures for steps, if possible. Below are some pictures that I took while building my oven. This may take more than one slide to complete.
You may add video clips of your progress, if possible.

5. Calculations and Graphing
Include pictures of your calculations and graphing (parabola)
Explain your process by either typing them here or adding a video explanation.

6. Calculations and Graphing (data sheet)
Include a picture of your data sheet.
Include a graph of your data points on a scatter plot. Make sure your axes are labeled appropriately and the graph has a title. Use a graphing calculator to find the line or curve of best fit (refer to your notes from Semester 1).
Explain your process by either typing them here or adding a video explanation.

7. Results
Report your results here. Be as detailed as possible.

8. Reflection and Recommendations
What are the important properties in a good solar cooker? What are their properties?
Engineers always want to improve the design of their inventions. If you and your partner were engineers, how might you improve your solar cooker to work better?
What were some of the challenges (or successes) that you faced during this project? Explain.
What adjustments or modifications had to be made to ensure the success of your solar cooker?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using solar cookers? Name at least three of each.
How did the focus of the parabola play a role in the success (or failure) of the cooking process? Explain.
Was your solar cooker success at heating the hot dog?
