6.2: Matter & Energy 3 Dimensions & Progressions
Unit 3
STANDARD 6.2.4
● 6.2.4 Design an object, tool, or process that minimizes or maximizes heat energy transfer . Identify criteria and constraints, develop a prototype for iterative testing, analyze data from testing, and propose modifcations for optimizing the design solution . Emphasize demonstrating how the structure of differing materials allows them to function as either conductors or insulators. MS-PS1-6
CONCEPTS
SKILLS
● Minimize/Maximize heat energy transfer
● Design ● Identify ● Develop a prototype ● Analyze data ● Propose Modifcations ● Optimize Design Solutions
LEARNING PROGRESSION
● Heat Energy is Transferred by convection, conduction and radiation ● Properties of Insulators and conductors ● Engineering Design Process VOCABULARY
● Convection ● Conduction ● Radiation
● Insulator ● Conductor
POSSIBLE PHENOMENA
● Space Shuttle coming through the atmosphere doesn’t burn up because of specifc design for insulation. ● Tile feels colder on your feet than carpet. ● An ice cube melts faster when placed directly on the countertop than on a towel. ● Engineering Phenomena: You want to bring an ice cream sandwich as part of home lunch. How do you keep it from melting until lunch time?
