2. Imagine for design #1
Idea #1
Our materials are shredded foam we
put it on the bottom shredded felt we
put it on sides and we also needed
shredded cloth and we out it on the
opposite sides.
We needed 1 unit of everything.
The advantages of this idea is most of
our materials are insulators, there
fore keeping the heat inside, and most
are in the least environmental impact.
The disadvantages of this idea is foam
has a big environmental impact.

Idea #2
Our materials are shredded cloth on
tow sides also shredded felt on the
bottom and shredded with foam on
the other sides.
We needed 1 unit for everything.
The advantages of this idea is these
are insulators and they have little
environment impact.
The disadvantages of this idea is
we would prefer to use three
different materials but the third
material had to much environment
impact so we chose a different one.

10. Create for design #1
Our heat score is our solar oven maximum temperature
subtracted from the control oven: 66°C - 55°C = 11°C.
Our time score is the number if minutes it took to cool
down which as 4 minutes.
It total impact score was 8 points.
Our total score for the solar oven is 7.

11. Improve for design #1
The total score for our first solar oven was
7.
The parts of our solar oven design that
worked well were out insulator worked
very well because they were light colors.
The parts of our solar oven design that did
not work well were the plastic would
always fall from the hole in the box
because we didn't tape it well.
We are going to try to improve our heat
score and our impact score.
We will improve these scores by using
different insulators that don't have a lot of
impact. W can also use darker materials.

Our heat score is our solar oven maximum
temperature subtract from the control oven:
56°C-53°C=3°C.
Our time score is the number of minutes it took to
cool down which was 4 minutes.
Our total impact score was 6 points.
Our new total score of the solar oven is 1.

19. Reflection
Our improved design did not work well because the materials
we used did not trap the heat in that much.
The materials we changed were poor insulators because the
total score from last time was 7 and the second time we did
are design the total score was 1. Also cotton let the heat in
that much and the newspaper let the heat pass through that
much. Also there wasn't that much cloth so I think it didn't get
a lot of heat.
If we could improve it again, we would use the same materials
as the first time because are score was 7 the first time and
the second time are score was 1 so we could of stayed with
the same materials in the first time. The materials we were
used are cloth, foam, and felt.
