Solar oven pizza box science experiment. The solar oven you build in this activity is a relatively simple one made out of a pizza box aluminum foil plastic wrap and a sheet of black paper. You covered the flap with foil so that the foil would reflect sunlight into the oven. We talked about what was happening while we waited for the s mores to bake.
