Conclusion:

This term in week 2 in science, we have started a new experiment called Renewable energy. We got into groups of four. We had to make a solar powered oven by using the following materials on Mr Palmer's blog and also watch a video and write down the steps on how to make it. After that we got to make a s'more and put it in our solar oven that we made and leave it resting in the sun to cook.
Overall it was a great experiment and lesson and I enjoyed learning about renewable energy.
