Houses of the Future
by Donna Brunjes
What will houses of the future look like? This Physics project-based lesson helps students explore what houses of the future might look like based on their geographical locations and climate. Students learn about different dwellings, styles, floor plans, building materials, energy usage and flows. Lessons focus on how a house functions as a "system" and entails the flow of energy in and out of that system with its surroundings. Students prepare and share presentations, written reports or brochures, as well as completing dwelling prototypes or blueprints.
