Mr. Leduc's Science Students Harness the Power of the Sun

The photos show the products of the students' hard work. Solar cookers can reach temperatures that exceed 212 degrees Fahrenheit - the boiling point of water. In our tests were verified that we could reach the temperatures required to cook smores!

I am very proud of how my students were able to create functional cooking devices from recycled materials.

Along the way they learned that these cookers are a necessity in some countries where food and liquids must be heated to at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit to kill bacteria as well as learning that the sun is a powerful source of renewable and non-polluting energy.

 

Thanks for visiting E.C.Goodwin!!!
Mr. LeDuc
