Solar Heated Grill from a Recycled Shoe Box and Aluminum Foil
(An alternative for heating machine)
An Investigatory Project in Physics by:

Introduction
A. Problem
B. Hypothesis
If a recycled cartoon box with aluminum foil is a proper container to store and harness heat from the sun, then, it could be used as an alternative cooking machine.
C. Objectives
The study aims to distinguish if a recycled shoe box and aluminum foil can be useful to make an alternative cooking machine. Furthermore, it sought to accomplish the following:
To solve for the accurate theoretical focal length of the parabolic curve in the solar heated grill
To construct a solar heated grill
To design an experiment to test the functionality of the grill
To perform a test to determine the magnitude of the heat of the grill per unit time
D. Significance of the study
This research centers about a study to science most specifically Optics. Through this, the students will appreciate the energy that the sun is capable of giving. This study is also a gateway to knowledge for students and teachers with respect to the recycling of old shoe box. Another thing is that this primarily serves as motivating factor for the schools or institutions to direct their students and to further strengthen their capabilities in recycling materials. Furthermore, the outcome of the study will provide information to authorized policy makers in Ecological recycled Waste Management (RA 9003). Converting these non-functional boxes does not only support the Republic Act 9003 but it also opens an avenue to develop technology in the community. On addition, this study will be able to lessen the consumption of non-renewable resources due to the fact that the energy used
