Primary 5/4 pupils at Kilcreggan Primary have been creating Solar Ovens from everyday materials. Pupils had been looking at how technology has developed over the past 90 years and thinking about designing some technology for the future. Their discussions led them to think about how people might cook in the future.
They then began to think about if people were living on the moon in the future how could they cook. They decided to try to cook using only the sun. The past weeks weather inspired them to try to design ovens where they could cook something using only the heat from the sun.
This week saw their ovens completed and pupils then cooked “S’mores” ( biscuits with chocolate and marshmallows. This might not be the ideal diet for future moon dwellers but P5/4 enjoyed their cooked S’mores!
