Homework - solar ovens

Read the paragraph. Answer the questions.
 
What is solar cooking?

In the United States, the stoves in our houses run on electricity or gas. In other parts of the world, many people still cook over campfires. One of the many cool things about solar ovens is that they don't need electricity, gas, or wood to work--they cook food using only sunlight! Basically, you put food in a box and trap the sun's heat by covering the box with glass or plastic.

Answer the following questions using the paragraph above.
1) What do stoves in the USA run on?
2) What powers a solar oven?
3) How does a solar oven work?
