Question
Your solar oven was the most efficient of the designs in class and your s'mores were ready much faster than any other group's. What design features helped transfer heat energy efficiently and directly to the grahams and marshmallows?
Responses
A The aluminum foil walls conducted heat energy toward the tin pan holding the s'mores. The tin pan radiated heat waves up towards the s'mores, causing them to absorb heat energy.The aluminum foil walls conducted heat energy toward the tin pan holding the s'mores. The tin pan radiated heat waves up towards the s'mores, causing them to absorb heat energy.
B The aluminum foil walls reflected incoming solar energy to the pan and the s'mores. The tin pie pan heated up quickly because it is metal and conducted heat energy to the grahams.The aluminum foil walls reflected incoming solar energy to the pan and the s'mores. The tin pie pan heated up quickly because it is metal and conducted heat energy to the grahams.
C The aluminum foil walls conducted heat energy toward the tin pan holding the s'mores. The tin pan, being metal and a good conductor, heated up quickly and melted the marshmallows.The aluminum foil walls conducted heat energy toward the tin pan holding the s'mores.

The most accurate response that describes the design features that helped transfer heat energy efficiently and directly to the grahams and marshmallows in your solar oven is:
**B**: The aluminum foil walls reflected incoming solar energy to the pan and the s'mores. The tin pie pan heated up quickly because it is metal and conducted heat energy to the grahams.
This response highlights the key principles of reflection (from the aluminum foil) and conduction (from the metal tin pan), both of which are essential for efficient heat transfer in a solar oven.
**B**: The aluminum foil walls reflected incoming solar energy to the pan and the s'mores. The tin pie pan heated up quickly because it is metal and conducted heat energy to the grahams.
