Subject Area: Earth/Energy/Environmental Sciences
Project Type: Experimental
Language: English
Summary: The hypothesis is that a magnified solar oven will produce more heat than a standard solar oven. This hypothesis was tested by an experiment that involved three trials comparing the heat of a magnified solar oven and that of a standard solar oven. In this experiment, the two solar ovens were built and then placed on a concrete surface facing west. The ovens were left for one and a half hours and then the temperatures were taken and written down. Then, I compared the results of the tests to determine if a magnified solar oven produces more heat than a standard solar oven. Software Tools Used: Microsoft Office 2007, SnagIt version 7.1, Google Earth, and Quandary version 2.3.0.4.
Hardware Tools Used: Digital camera and a flash drive
Source of the Idea: Emmanuel Stanton
Special Skills: Computer literacy skills and software skills in programs such as Microsoft Office, Quandary, and SnagIt.
Awards: None for this project. Summa cum laude award for 2006 project.
