Introduction

Summary	What is Solar Energy? Solar Energy is light or heat that comes from the sun. Solar Energy is a renewable source of energy, it is clean and it is free. Our project is informative and experimental, everyone needs to do their part in keeping the earth clean.
Idea for Project	Last year I (Brianna) did a science fair project on electricity, I learned that coal was the number one producer of electricity in Nova Scotia. Coal is a non-renewable fuel; it is very dirty and causes pollution. It adds to the green house gases in the atmosphere. These gases are warming up the earth and this is causing Global Warming. I wanted to find out what source of energy could be used that wasn't dirty and wouldn't produce any green house gases. After a little research, I realized solar energy is a renewable energy, it is very clean and it is free. I asked Jordee to be my partner and we decided to do a Solar Cooker Challenge.
