Discussion.
Validity and Reliability.
The validity of this experiment was ensured by using appropriate equipment such as a thermometer to measure the temperature of the chocolate and a stop watch to keep an accurate time between each measurement.
This experiment is designed such that it can be repeated easily. The experiment was repeated twice (removing the baking paper with the chocolate and replacing it with a new one) to ensure reliability and resulted in similar results.

Limitations and Successes.
Limitations experienced while conducting this experiment include:
-Materials
When creating the solar ovens, the types of boxes specified in the experiment were hard to find so It resulted in using shoe boxes, as there were more ideal.
Successes experienced while conducting this experiment include:
- Successfully melting the chocolate using solar ovens
- To create 2 fully functioning interpretations of a solar oven.

Improvements.
Some improvements which would've lead to a more efficient experiment would be to conduct this experiment when the weather is Hot and less windy, a more durable design to withstand wind, and conducting the experiment in an area where the amount of sunlight is consistent.
