May was a great month for the students of STEMulate® Change! With the summer quickly approaching, students at Silver Lake Elementary School were taught how to make S'mores using homemade solar cookers. The students made their own cookers with every day household items, such as: cereal boxes, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap. Through this exercise, they were able to learn about solar energy and the similarities/differences between convection and conduction heat transfer. Many of the youth loved the activity so much they went home and made their own cookers with their families so they could try cooking other food items. This knowledge will be something students can use on a nice summer day when they want a quick, fun, and educational snack! FAME can't wait to see what's in store during our summer session!
