Solar Oven Covers

Help me give my students this construction paper for our solar ovens that we will be making for our Spring Challenge in STEM class.

My Project

Our solar oven project will start soon. I only need construction paper to wrap it all up.

I've got boxes, paint, and art supplies but I'd like extra black construction paper so that students can be as creative as they want for their solar oven project.

This is a STEM project challenge in my class but a real STEM challenge for a competition for MESA. Having enough supplies for all groups will give us a better chance of winning the competition.

The goal is to make a solar oven that can retain the most heat in a small mason jar within 25 minutes exposed to the sun.
