How can I design and build a shelter that reduces heat transfer and keeps my ice cube penguin for melting?]]> 2018-02-08 16:51:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229680351 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229681104 Our top three insulators were aluminum, Popsicle sticks and Mylar. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229681104 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229682093 In the trays demo we knew that the plastic was a good insulator. From the spoons demo we noticed that a plastic spoon was better to use because the metal one was a conductor and heated up quickly. We also found out that we wanted to use Mylar over black paper because it reduced heat transfer the most. We also learned that we wanted a taller house because the heat rises up. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229682093 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229682483 We decided to construct our house out of tinfoil and Mylar and put cotton on the inside for better insulation. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229682483 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229683211 2018-02-08 16:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229683211 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229683659 Some of our successes in the design was the shape of the house, one of the failures was the door, it kept swinging open. We lost 29%. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229683659 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229684347 We added more Mylar to the outside and added more cotton balls to the inside for better insulation. Then we fixed the door because the tape wasn't working last time]]> 2018-02-08 16:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229684347 kowaevel https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229684753 Our final percent was 22%. We added more Mylar and that made it more successful. If I could improve it even more, I would make it taller and added more tinfoil. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaevel/b20qdcozujlz/wish/229684753
