Solar Cooker

Well, for science (physics) I need to make a solar cooker. A solar cooker is something that allows you to cook using the power of the sun. There are three types of solar cookers; including parabolic, box, and panel. I am writing this blog post to help me decide what kind of solar cooker to make. I don't know how to word that sentence to get my point across, but you get it, right?

I am probably going to try to convince my group to make a box cooker. Box cookers seem the cheapest out of all of them. This is supposed to be for a developing country, so they won't be able to afford it. Box cookers also seem to be a bit more easy to make. They look like they require less materials (pictures below), so that will be convienient for the people buying them and ordering them (and easier for my group to make when testing.....).
