Science+Lesson+4

**Objective: Using the knowledge that the Sun’s radiation, as heat can be captured and used, the 2nd grade students will be able to name the parts of a solar oven and explain their functions with 95% accuracy. ** **Materials: ** · **Solar oven ** · **Oven thermometer ** · **Aluminum cooking pans with plastic wrap, clear glass covered casserole, or oven roasting bag ** · **Science Discovery Sheet (in a Word document) **
 * SCIENCE- FORMS OF ENERGY **

**Student Activities: ** **1. ****Mix or prepare the food to be put in the oven according to the recipe ** **2. ****Put the food in a covered dish, place in baking bag, or cover tightly with plastic wrap ** **3. ****Lift glazing, set the dish and oven thermometer on the bottom of the oven, and replace the glazing ** **4. ****Set the oven facing the Sun ** **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">5. ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">Adjust the tilt of the oven and the tilt of the reflector so that the Sun’s rays are directed into the body of the oven ** **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">6. ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">When food is done, be sure to use pot holder to remove the glazing and also the food- SOLAR COOKERS CAN GET EXTREMELY HOT ** **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">7. ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">Classroom discussion ** **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">8. ****<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif';">Complete the Science Discovery Sheet (on the computer) and search the Internet that matches the food cooked. **
