First, we will use a pizza box to create our solar oven. Next, we will draw three straight lines on the pizza box and cut them out to create the flap. We will then wrap aluminum foil all over the inside of the pizza box to create an insulation to keep the heat in the box. We will use black tape to hold down the sides of the aluminum foil on the box. We will add black construction paper to the bottom of the pizza box to help with absorbing the heat from the sun. A reflective insulation will be used to fit on the top part of the flap and then we will use plastic wrap over the top and bottom of the lid. Lastly, we will create our own recipe by putting the ingredients on a plate and allowing the sun to warm up the food.
