MYA (VOICEOVER): Full
Time Kid, with Mya.
Hi, I'm Mya.
Today we're harnessing the
power of the sun, sun, sun, sun.
We'll be using the sun's heat.
But instead of using it
to charge our superpowers,
we're going to use it to make
a gooey, delicious treat.
Today we will be
making a solar cooker.
A solar cooker captures and
contains the heat from the sun.
And today, we'll be using it
to make our favorite camping
treat, s'mores.
To make a solar cooker you
will need a cardboard box,
some aluminum foil,
clear plastic wrap,
a pair of scissors,
a glue stick, tape,
and some construction paper.
For the s'mores you will need
graham crackers, marshmallows,
and chocolate.
But let's save that for later.
First, make sure
your box is clean.
Next, cut a square in the flap
of the lid about two inches
from the edges, but
keep one side intact.
This will act as a hinge.
You may need an adult's help.
Cut the aluminum
foil to fit around
the inside bottom of the box.
Apply glue to the
bottom of the box
and press the
aluminum to the box.
Measure and cut
the aluminum foil
to fit the inside flap that
was cut at the beginning.
Use glue to keep
the foil in place.
Use the clear plastic wrap to
cover the inside of the box
flap hole.
Tape it in place, but be sure
not to tape the flap down.
Measure and cut a piece of
black construction paper.
That should be around
1 to 2 inches smaller
than the bottom of the box.
Place the black construction
paper in the middle
and on top of the bottom foil.
Use tape to keep
the square in place.
The lid should be propped
open to catch the sunlight
and direct it into the box.
Next, find a nice spot that
will get direct sunlight
for the next 15 to 30 minutes.
Place your s'mores on top of
the black construction paper.
Close the lid, but keep the flap
open to let the sunlight in.
And now we wait.
Ding.
Let's take a look.
[GASP] Perfect.
Mm.
MALE: Keep those handy.
Now, remember,
this solar cooker
is designed for smaller snacks
and it won't cook bigger items
like a normal kitchen.
OK.
That's our show.
Thanks for watching.
Bye-bye.
Hi, I'm Mya.
Today we're going
to-- I can't stop.
Oh.
It fell.
MALE: Can we get a napkin?
It dripped all over my face.
