Kyoto box

Okay kiddo, so have you ever heard of something called the Kyoto Box? It's a special box made to help people cook food using the power of the sun.

Here's how it works: The box is made out of materials that can trap and hold heat from the sun. It has two different sections inside – one where you put your food, and one that reflects the sun's heat into the box.

When you put your food in the box and aim it towards the sun, the reflections heat up the inside of the box, making it hot like an oven. This helps cook your food slowly over time.

But the best part is that the Kyoto Box is really good for the environment! Because it uses only the sun's energy, it doesn't create any pollution or greenhouse gases like a normal oven would. That's why it's called a "green" way to cook.

Cool, huh? Maybe one day you'll get to try cooking with a Kyoto Box yourself!
