Cold Can Challenge
Learning Goal: I can design and construct a device that slows heat transfer through radiation, conduction, and convection.
Students tested the thermal conductivity of several materials of their choice.
|
Once the devices were constructed, each was subjected to the "hot box" for thirty minutes. Temperatures were taken at 5 minute intervals. The box included a heat lamp (radiation), space heater (convection), and a metal tray atop a heating pad (conduction).
|
Displays included design, reasoning for each material, graph comparing control, and improvements for future design.
