How to Make Smores With the Sun for a Science Project
S'mores are tasty snacks that are especially popular around campfires. They are believed first to have been made by a group of Girl Scouts in the 1920s. It didn't take long for S'mores to gain popularity across the nation. The treats traditionally are made by melting a marshmallow over a fire and placing it between two graham crackers and a chocolate bar, but there are other methods for making them. With a couple common materials and the S'mores ingredients, you can make them using the power of the sun. Does this Spark an idea?
