Question: What is the most efficient way to cook a sausage using solar power?
Materials
Over sized shoe box x 2
Aluminum foil lots,scissors,craft knife or box cutter,tape,glue,pencil,ruler,Single hole punch,skewer+10 sizzlers+10, buns+10, and your favorite hot dog condiments!+tin foil,glass,glass painted black
Background Research
The way that our hot dog should cook is that when the sun has
hit our reflective material e.g Glass, Tin foil and glass painted
black it should reflect the heat onto our meat that we are cooking
in this case a hot dog. The heat from the sun that is reflected should
cook the Hot dog. The time the hot dog takes to cook really depend
on the heat and sunlight we get. We Will not be using a precook
d hot dog because that would not really “cook” it would just reheat.
To see if our hot dog is cooked we will look at the outside of the skin and
if it looks cooked on the outside we will put a little cut in it and look on the inside as well.

Hypothesis
Our Hypothesis is that when the sun reflects off the reflective materials we are using it will reflect the heat onto the hot dog should cook it hoping we have a nice sunny day.
Method
1. Take the lid of the shoe box
2. Now cut the shoe box into a half pipe skate ramp kinda shape
3. Now cut a piece of cardboard into two strips about 3.cm wide each and use a hole puncher to
put a hole in each of the cardboard strips and line the holes up perfectly
4. Tape the strips to the side of the box like this photo
5. Now lay the reflective material down into the shape of the cut out box. If you have a solid hard layer like glass angle it so the sun will reflect onto the sizzler
6. Put the sizzler onto the skewer
