Engaging Students in Renewable Energy

How to Build a Mini Solar Oven


Science teachers at Kaposia Education Center, an elementary school in the South Saint Paul Public Schools, taught students about renewable energy with a lesson plan to build mini solar ovens. The lesson engages students in design, build and scientific inquiry about solar energy and insulation as part of the design.  

The student handout for the lesson is here: Create a Solar Oven 

The lesson plan is adopted from the SciShow Kids program The Science of Cooking: How to Build a Solar Oven. See that video here:
