Featured GreenLearning Activity of the Month

The Solar Oven Challenge

GreenLearning's Solar Oven Challenge is open to all Canadian students. Last year's Challenge included participants from grade 3 through to grade 10. Many of the older students built solar ovens as part of the heat unit in their Science courses. Other students learned about solar energy as a project in an eco-class or recycling club. Learn More!
