When I was a kid at summer camp, we made "solar cookers"- except that they didn't cook anything! Turns out, just painting a shoebox black and lining it with foil doesn't work. I've been sour on #solarcooker projects with kids ever since, until now.
I decided to make it my end of year class project with my students and do it RIGHT. I made a prototype to teach myself before starting on theirs.
Now I'm obsessed with #solarcooking . This little #solaroven made from trash has cooked vegetable curry, Mexican rice, lentils (from dry!) cinnamon rolls, and blueberry cobbler (all #veganfood of course). I've devoured pages and pages of the Solar Cooking Wiki from SCI and everything solar cooking related at Low Tech Magazine. Help, this is amazing.

Teaching is waking up at four thirty in the morning with the immediate thoughtβthat would be a great activity to teach work-energy principal! Still winter break but working today. #TeacherPrep #teacher #scienceteacher #ScienceTechnologyEngineeringMath

Grandpa wants to watch a show that's *only* on paramount+, so I check his TV, see he has an extra HDMI port, so I take him to the big store to get a roku.
Him: which aisle do we have to go to?
Me: the #electronics section.
Him: *LOUD GROAN* you know me and electronics don't get along
Me: but. How? You're a #scienceteacher
Him: I never liked big E.
LOL. First time I've heard #technology referred to as Big Anything. There are some things the #boomers are good for, if we only listen.

Great advice here. Good point about importance of correct terminology in earlier years...

@RussInCheshire Did you know you can make a rainbow on your wall by shining your mobile flashlight (with a diy slit disc) through a red wine glass filled with water? ππ·π±#scienceteacher
