Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Demonstrates light reflection, heat absorption and heat retention
Runs on direct sunlight; no fuel or electrical heating element
Students record temperature against time and sunlight conditions
Effect of reflector angle and cooker orientation can be studied
About This Product
Set up outdoors on a level surface with the absorbing area in direct sunlight, the model lets a class record temperature and time at regular intervals and compare heating as the reflector angle or orientation changes. Renewable-energy lessons in the Heat category can pair it with a Windmill Model, Hydro Power Model or Biogas Plant Working Model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does the model require electricity? Normal solar operation needs direct sunlight rather than mains electricity.
Q2. Can the model be used indoors? Direct sunlight is normally required, so indoor use is limited to explaining the components unless an approved artificial source is specified.
