As education is probably the most important component in spreading the benefits and uses of solar cooking, Classroom resources will be the location for materials, and other appropriate resources, used for learning, and teaching others, about solar cooking.
Lesson plans
- Free solar oven curriculum for teachers - Grow NYC
- In this activity, students will learn about using the Sun’s energy to meet our needs. They will be introduced to concepts around solar energy needed for solar cooking (heat) – dark colours for absorbing sunlight, greenhouse effect, light colours for reflecting sunlight and insulation. Using this science knowledge, they will then construct and use a solar oven. Making a Solar Oven
- The Fun-Panel solar cooker is a very good design to build in construction workshops. Please see Fun-Panel Class Handout.
- Solar cooking demonstration kit, ages 8 and up
- Hands-on solar cooker ideas with kids
- Cook Food Using the Sun - Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
- Grade school level comparison of two types of solar cookers
- Solar Cooking Lesson Plan, grades 6-8 Students experiment with a virtual solar cooker to discover the mathematical relationships among reflection, transmission and absorption. Students then apply their knowledge to building and testing a solar oven of their own invention.
