    1) The document is a lab report on building and testing a solar oven. It discusses how solar ovens work by reflecting sunlight into a box to create heat through conduction and convection. 2) Key terms defined include conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction transfers heat through direct contact, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through invisible heat waves. 3) Predictions are made that a solar oven could cook food, work in places with lots of sun like Africa, and that white paper would cook slower than black paper which absorbs light better.
