Keep It Cold
The objective of this lesson is to engage students in the practical application of science, engineering, and critical thinking skills to design and create a container that effectively keeps perishable food cold during emergency situations. Students will explore the principles of insulation, heat transfer, and material science while addressing the real-world challenge of preserving food in the absence of traditional refrigeration.This lesson not only engages students in hands-on STEM activities but also encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and the application of scientific principles to address practical challenges in emergency situations.

Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
