Using household items and harnessing solar energy kids can make snacks like s'mores. We picked this project because it brings together things we love.
Your project shows excellent scientific thinking because you didn’t just stop at testing your original idea. You carefully observed what was happening and discovered that the color of the box (black vs. white) mattered more than the size. That insight shows strong critical‑thinking skills and a real understanding of how heat absorption works. Great job!
