Energy Efficient Home Challenge Lesson 3 of 4
This is lesson 3 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.

Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.
Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated
This lesson will help students judge the difference between Thermal Conductors and Insulators. Students will test, collect data, and find results on which insulator material with have the best results
