Solar Hot Boxes

Today in science class we made solar hot boxes to cook hot dogs...and it actually worked! It's always thrilling when a science lesson goes as planned. The hot dogs actually cooked all the way through, and they only had to sit in the sun for three hours! Hardly the way one would want to make a quick snack, but pretty amazing none-the-less. Here's a picture of some of my students building their hot dog cookers.
