Students will examine thermal energy in the form of a solar oven. Students will discuss other possible uses of solar energy.
The Energy Coalition will send you plastic wrap, masking tape, black construction paper, and aluminum pans to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to design and build a model to examine thermal energy by constructing a solar oven. Students will also be able to describe the uses of thermal energy and explain how we can harvest different types of energy (thermal, radiant, and light) from the sun.
Suggested Teaching Time: 40-50 minutes
NGSS Standards: 4-PS3-2., 4-PS3-4., 3-5-ETS1-1., 3-5-ETS1-2., 3-5-ETS1-3.
