Friday was M for mathematics.
The culmination of Solar Camp was our treats from the solar oven. The campers created pizzas and chocolate chip cookie jars which they cooked in the solar oven. They used measurement and conversion skills in creating their recipes.
Below is the recipe for the cookies in the jar.
Ingredients
1 1/8 cups flour
1 stick softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Egg Beaters
1 cup chocolate chips
Place 2 Tablespoons of dough in a glass jar. (We used Oui yogurt jars.)
Bake in solar (or conventional) oven at 300 F for 30 minutes.
The campers were also excited that the picture they requested from the NASA telescope of the sun arrived today. They analyzed it using different filters on MicroObservatory. There were three distinct sun spots in their image. It was a wonderful way to end a shining week!
