Wednesday, Day 2

Today was our 2nd day of building our function model demonstrating how Solar Energy can be put to use.

A group member brought in a wooden box for the solar oven. We hinged on another piece of wood to create a door for the oven. It took a while to screw in the screw for the hinge and we had no idea why. The screws just wouldn't go into the hole we drilled for them. Then while trying things like making the hole bigger to help the screws in, we realized something. That entire time we were trying to drill the screws in, the drill was going in reverse! xD After we switched it, it was much easier to drill the screws in.

After we screwed on the hinges, we grabbed some black paint and a wood paintbrush. We were about to start painting when it was time to clean up. All we accomplished today was screwing on the hinges for the oven door, but at least it's something right?
