The Solar Collection Project
Comments: 1
Question and Hypothesis 
My question is how hot will my solar cooker get? My hypothesis is I think my solar cooker will get hotter than 100 degrees farenheit.
Procedures
1. Researched information on solar energy and picked solar oven plan.
2. Built solar ovens.
3. Tested solar ovens and recorded test results on a T-chart.
4. Modified and changed my solar oven to increase temperature.
Results
Conclusion
My hypothesis that my solar oven would get over 100 degrees farenhite was wrong because my solar oven only got up to 91 degrees farenhite after ten minuetes.

Eric,I'm disappointed with this project. You left out quite a bit of the requirements (see below). Were you aware of them?
Question - 2/3 - Your question is not testable. It needs to be something like "how does foil affect the increase in temperature?"
Procedures - 1/3 - You left out a lot: how long did you test? what time intervals did you use?
Results - 1/3 - Your graph has no title, key, or labels for the axes.
Conclusion - 0/3 - You don't have a statement of why your experiment turned out like it did.
Discussion - 0/3 - No discussion.
Total - 4/15
