solar pizza box oven
By: Joy montalvo taco
Problem
How can thermal energy from the sun can be trapped and used to create an insulating effect?
Hypothesis
I think the thermal energy from the sun will be trapped by the black paper and be an insulating effects.
Materials
- An empty pizza box
- Black paper
- Aluminum foil
- Gray duct tape
Independent Variable
- Temperature of the oven.
Dependent Variable
- The time of the oven outside.
Controlled Variable
- Oven (box) conditions

Research
1. Sunlight energy comes from the sun and makes the ultimate energy source.
2. Heat makes one of the energy and is used in temperature.
3. The types of energy are thermal, sound, solar, hydroelectric wind and geothermal.
Results
The black paper got the most thermal energy and the aluminum foil was the conductor of the oven, so that it could keep the food (etc) warm.
Conclusion
My hypothesis was correct, the black paper did tapped the sun's heat energy and keep the sample warm. The oven was a success on keeping the energy warm.
