"Keep the penguins chilly with this cool investigation! Learn how to introduce engineering design and the fundamentals of heat and energy transfer to your middle school class. Receive a curriculum guide and learn how to expand this STEM lesson into a unit on alternative energy sources.
In the investigation, students build dwellings that protect penguin-shaped ice cubes from increasingly warming temperatures and test materials for their ability to slow thermal energy transfer in order to keep the ice penguins cool. Students then build a penguin home using the material of their choice to see how well the dwellings keep the penguin-shaped ice cubes from melting in a test oven.
