Energy Efficient Home Challenge Lesson 1 of 4
This is lesson one 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 investigate how solar energy changes the temperature of a substance.
Students will use the projects from lessons 2 and 3 to analyze the data of the electric cars they made. They will identify the variables in their cars and plan improvements to their designs.
This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to
