FREE Solar Oven STEM Activity

Get a Free Solar Oven STEM Challenge!

This is a great classroom activity for students of all ages! Students will get to apply the design process, and make a fun treat! The solar oven does not produce enough heat to be dangerous, so it is great for younger students. When I do this in the classroom, I use the solar oven to make nachos or s’mores!

    I am so impressed with this unit which manages to be distance learning and hands-on at the same time.  Really well thought out and engaging activities that allow students to practice each of the eight Science and Engineering Practices.  Really no prep for me!

    The elephant article was excellent but I also thought the lab on dissecting a flower was broken down so easily, even telling me where to get inexpensive flowers!  This resource helped me teach this challenging standard in an engaging way.  Worth every penny!

    My students loved this unit. I was able to present different elements of it throughout the month. It is hard to find interesting non-fictional, age-appropriate text for my students that they will enjoy. This was a great unit that aligned well for my students who have very different goals within the same group.
