Engage students in a hands-on investigation of heat transfer and energy efficiency in a practical problem-solving activity. In Part One, students observe and analyze heat distribution in a model house. In Part Two, they design and test solutions to improve heat distribution. This challenge helps students understand conduction, convection, and radiation in a real-world context. The project encourages critical thinking, data analysis, and documentation of the engineering design process.

Standards 6.1.2.2.1 Applying a Design Process Apply and document an engineering design process that includes identifying criteria and constraints, making representations, testing and evaluation, and refining the design as needed to construct a product or system that solves a problem. 6.2.3.2.3 Transfers of Heat Energy Describe how heat energy is transferred in conduction, convection and radiation.
Targets Students will use what they have learned about energy to evaluate data collected during the engineering challenge. Students will correctly identify and explain conduction, convection and radiation. Students will apply knowledge of conduction, convection, and radiation to engineer a solution to a practical problem.
Hot House ChallengePart One • Part One • Make observations of the house. • Record Data • Analyze • What happened to the heat? • Based on this data, what might be true about how heat moves?
Hot House Challenge Part Two The Problem Your house is not evenly heated. The Challenge • Choose a goal. Design and test a model home. • You must present: • Your Goal/Question • An analysis of your data. What might be true? • Data: Design research/results • Methods: Documentation of your design/testing process.
