Engineering Greenhouse Design
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect.
~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to understand how their designs incorporate the processes of heat transfer within a controlled environment.
~Students will collect, record and graph data over time as they compare the inside temperature of their greenhouse to outside.
~Lesson includes extension options in addition to community connection opportunities (University of Arizona's Controlled Environment Agriculture Center as well as Biosphere 2).
