Energy Efficient Home Challenge Lesson 2 of 4
This is lesson 2 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting climate data for two Arizona counties, researching thermal energy transfer concepts and insulative properties of materials, use and application of infrared imaging and thermometers, engineering in collaborative teams, testing and taking data for prototype design and team presentation of design solutions. The unit materials contain student worksheets, team presentation template, and a google slides presentation with additional support materials.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
Students will model series and parallel circuits in Tinkercad and transfer the design to a physical breadboard. At the end of the lesson, students must use the design process to design and build a
In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
