Earth Hour & Solar Ovens

The TDSB will be taking part in Earth Hour on Friday March 26th from 2pm-3pm. Eco-Schools has put out an Earth Hour challenge to all schools to create solar ovens or do some sort of electricity free activity.
After school our Eco-Club will be making solar ovens for Friday's Earth Hour. The ones we will be making are made from pizza boxes, aluminium foil, oven bags, black construction paper, news print, and a little tape.

I built one the other day so I would have a finished product to show the students and was surprised at how easy they are to make. Unfortunately it has been over cast and rainy so I haven't had a chance to test it out and see how hot it can get. I'm sure that we'll be able to melt cheese, but would we be able to boil water or cook an egg?
If Friday is a sunny day you're welcome to come and check out our Earth Hour Solar Oven Event!!!!

Toronto will be participating in Earth Hour on Saturday March 27th from 8:30pm-9:30pm
