Energy Efficient Home Challenge Lesson 2 of 4
This is lesson 2 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.

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.
Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
In this lesson, students review key architecture components found in Ancient Greek Architecture and are challenged to create a multi-layer structure to hold their body weight. Students use the
