Design a Cup Part 2
In this 2nd lesson in a series of 2, students will continue the work on their cup design. They will analyze features of water cups for how effective they are at keeping our water cold while we are at school. Following the engineering design process, students will then use this knowledge to design and build a container of their own to attempt to keep ice water cold, for as long as possible.

This lesson is for a multi-day project where student groups will plan, design, and build roller coasters out of paper and tape. It tests their knowledge of Physics and Engineering Design.
In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
