I used the Inquire part. I researched about other solar food-makers and was inspired by those creations. Thus, Sienna and I developed a model showing our creation.
To create our product, we plan to use a cardboard box as our place, cover the base with black construction paper and aluminum foil. By doing this, we hope to raise the temperature inside the cardboards box and to heat up the bottom of the box, where the cookies will be placed. We plan to make a stick thing which will support the lid to an angles. This will allow sunlight to reflect off of the lid, heating the cookies. This idea came from how we used magnifying glass to burn ants in our childhood. We want to add a temperature probe and possibly solar panels, but are not sure of the placement. For success, we plan to tryout our prototype next class without solar panels just to see how hot it gets, and make adjustments according to our data.
My success criteria is that the product needs to work. It should be mostly environmentally friendly and aesthetically okay.
