Design a Cup Part 1
In this 1st lesson in a series of 2, students will analyze features of water cups for how effective they are at keeping our water cold while we are at school. Students will then use this knowledge to design and a container of their own to attempt to keep ice water cold, for as long as possible.
Students will view a view on how Hydro Flasks are made, then work on direct inquiry, eliciting ideas in small groups, and finally creating a design blueprint. The link to the 2nd lesson is included.
