3. Hypothesis:
The greater the room temperature the greater the temperature of the solar oven.
4. Method:
1. Gather a shoe box and paint it completely black all over the box.
2. Wrap the flip of the shoe box with aluminium foil so the sun can reflect the sun rise into the base of the shoe box.
3. Gather another box to place inside the base of the bigger box.
4. Put your two thermometers in the smaller box and check the room temperature on a regular basis so you can compare the difference between your solar oven and outside temperature.
5. Cover the smaller box with cling wrap to absorb the heat within the box.
6. In the base of the box once the smaller box is in fill the rest of the space with crunched up newspaper so more heat will be absorbed to keep a high temperature.
7. Once your solar oven is fully complete you will be able to start your experiment. The aim is to see if your oven gets to rapid temperatures so you need to check your temperatures on a regular basis. You will need to check at least every hour to see if your oven is a success!
8. Once your solar oven has reached a higher temperature you can place the food of your
Before the experiment, several pieces of glass were put into an oven to dry, and the heat from the
Is to bake some cookies with a man made oven (that collects sunlight and traps heat).
Twenty minutes and the temperature was at 30 ° C. After twenty-five minutes it was at 29 ° C. Thirty minutes and the temperature was still at 29 ° C. The experimenter noticed with the lamp on for thirty minutes the temperature overall increased 17°. With the lamp off for thirty minutes the temperature overall decreased 7°. The experimenter realized that it this proves sand heats up at a more rapid pace than water. After all the temperatures were recorded the experimenter unplugged the lamp. Removed thermometers from all the cans, carefully wiped and placed each can in the appropriate tray. The experimenter then emptied the sand into the bag of sand, and emptied the water into the sink and put the can in the tray marked empty water cans. Finally the experimenter took the lamp back to where it was found.
This problem that i have decided to solve is very significant to me and many other people although most don’t know that in about four states in the U.S an estimated amount 700 people in the U.S without homes die each year. The Science that I used is the science of solar power. I know that the sun is attracted to the color black so I painted the inside of my project black. Also that Insulation covered in a very thin metal sheet makes heat right away when the sun touches it. I got the idea to build my prototype from a website named build it solar here is the link,
The first step is to prepare supplies and ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, get out supplies. The supplies you need will be:
2. Place a clean plastic cup in each box, to keep the cultures standing upright. Glue the cups into the boxes so they do not fall over. Label the boxes:
This experiment was dealing with the heating of water with different types and sizes of metals. In it you had to deal with heat capacity. Heat capacity is the amount of heat (normally expressed in calories, kilocalories, or joules) to raise a substances temperature by one (1) degree (normally expressed in Celsius or Kelvin). With the answer expressed in units of thermal energy per degree temperature. With substances having certain specific dimensions you can use to types of heat capacity, Molar Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Capacity.
The two testing methods we used were to find the temperature inside of my product and the marshmallow that was inside of my product. The first testing method was to use the thermometer to record the temperature of the marshmallow as measured in degrees celsius at 5,10, and 15 minutes. I predict that the marshmallow will have the highest temperature after 15 minutes. The second testing method we used to determine if our device worked was to record the temperature of the box itself in degrees celsius at 5,20, and 15 minutes. I predict that the temperature will be the highest at 15 minutes. The testing method I think best represents my device is the recording the temperature of the marshmallow due to the fact that it my product of going to be
To fill the pastry bag use a rubber spatula to scoop the icing into the
The purpose of our thermal heat project in 8th grade science is to create a device that maximizes or minimizes thermal energy and learn about engineering design. My group is working for Cocina del Sol: A Latin American, eco friendly food truck company. The device we created is called The hot box. The purpose of this device is to make it so it can use energy from from the sun. This will work by using the right materials that react to heat. This will help the company I am working for bake their specialty cookies while staying eco
After that, find the suggested time for cooking on the box and add 3-4 minutes to get your microwave cooking time and then cook.
Both houses (with the thermometers) were placed the in the same position at the same distance from the heat lamps (See Figure One: Experimental Set up).
10) Open the bunsen burner to a half open air hole at heat the beaker of water to 40oC (use a thermometer in the water)
Place your food in the oven and let it bake according to the recipe. Make sure that the door is firmly closed, unless the recipe states otherwise. Opening and closing the door while baking will cause the internal heat to escape, which may result in longer baking
Make sure you have the correct equipment for the job, such as fridges, freezers, chill well, an oven, microwave, hold holding counter and a probe thermometer. We check that our probe is working correctly on a weekly basis by doing a calibration test. We place the probe it
