Solar cookers convert sunlight into heat energy.. they are a low-cost, pollution-free method of food preparation. Under normal conditions, solar cookers can reach temperatures between 175-250° F. Since food cooks at around 175-195°F, solar cookers are hot enough to fully cook food, but not to burn it or dry it out.

Globally, solar cookers play an important role. They benefit millions by providing a smoke-free method of cooking that does not rely on wood, charcoal, or other fuels. They provide a means for pasteurizing water during emergencies and disinfecting medical supplies. What other benefits do solar cookers provide?

In this project, you will design a solar cooker that will cook a food item. It needs to fit within the design requirements and restraints. During the project, you will work to design, test, and then optimize the solar cooker design. At the end of the project, you will submit the set of deliverables.


DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND CONSTRAINTS
* Placement profile: 1cubic meter
*Must be able to load and retrieve food easily
*Construction materials should not emit any noxious fumes when heated
*Construction material must be readily available (recycled materials are encouraged)
*Keep budget low. (Keep track of $)

YOUR PROTOTYPE IS DUE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30TH.

Create a NEW webpage in your Website. Add this page under the 2nd Six Weeks.

Research:
What is the purpose of a solar cooker.
There are different types of solar cookers. Name them and describe them.
How do each of the different solar cookers work. Include temperatures it reaches, temp to cook foods, and how long does it take to cook with it.
Define the problems addressed by solar cookers, including global, social, and environmental issues that can be reduced by using the sun as an alternative energy source.

What is the thermal conductivity of different materials that could be used to construct a solar cooker.

Turn in the web address (URL) of your website.
Only one person in each group needs to turn it in.

Create a new Webpage in your Website Portfolio.
Make a separate section for each of the following.
-Define what sustainable living is. Summarize it up in a short paragraph.
