5th Graders had a great time cooking with their solar ovens! Students experimented with making different style ovens using concepts learned in science...absorption, greenhouse effect, and light converting to heat resulted in a delicious snack of hotdogs, chicken nuggets and s'mores. Special thanks to Mr. Vanek and Mrs. Basnett for supporting our educational picnic!
