The solar stove challenge: Students will be provided a heat lamp as a source of heat. Students use materials to build a stove to collect radiant heat from the lamps. They can use any materials necessary to maximize the heat. Students will place the stove (oven) under the lamp for 20 minutes. The challenge will be to have the greatest heat change (hottest temperature).
The thermos challenge: Students will be given a plastic cup for which they can surround in insulating material, and make a lid. Hot water will be poured inside of the plastic cup, and temperature measured. After twenty minutes the temperature of the water will be measured again. The challenge is to have the least amount of temperature change from beginning to end.
