Diy Solar Oven Smores. Using a few household items and an old pizza box the sun s rays are directed into the box heating up the marshmallows and melting the chocolate for a delicious scientific treat. Depending on how hot the day is and how directly the sunlight shines on the oven the marshmallows will take 30 to 60 minutes to get squishy when you poke them. Close the oven lid the part with the plastic wrap on it tightly and prop up the flap to reflect the sunlight into the box.
Solar energy is about using light and heat from the sun. When thermal light energy from the sun enters your oven the foil in the box reflects the light heat concentrating the heat into your oven.
Here s the science behind how the solar oven works.
Cook the marshmallows until they re squishy approximately 30 minutes. Here s the science behind how the solar oven works.
