Cooking with Solar Power
Mr. Dedrick’s Energy and Power class recently cooked eggs using only the power of sunlight. The students pictured here tested the “solar cookers” which were designed and constructed during the previous weeks.
The students
researched, designed and
constructed the cookers working
in groups of two. “They really
worked hard on this project, and
were able to see the awesome power of the sun, which we will need to further harness for future use.
There are so many positive aspects to solar power, and this was just a glimpse at its capabilities,” Dedrick said. All groups successfully cooked their eggs, and did so in just a few hours.
