Phoenix Urban Heat Island: Lesson 2 - Master Planned Community Design
Lesson 2 of 4
Students will investigate and research key factors that impact urban heat islands. Equipped with evidence, students will draft a scaled drawing of a master-planned community applying innovative design to combat the urban heat island effect.

Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
This is the 3rd lesson in the series. In this lesson, students will select one building from their master-planned community to construct a 3D model that absorbs/releases 8% less than the surrounding
Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data
