Save my melting Penguin by Ciara Smith https://padlet.com/smitciar/oqyupm5t8pjy the problem were trying to solve is to build and a design a house for my penguin so it doesn't melt. en-us 2017-01-20 20:47:00 UTC 2025-10-22 15:59:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Day 1 smitciar https://padlet.com/smitciar/oqyupm5t8pjy/wish/148480811 The Boulder beach penguins have a black stripe across its chest and has white skin

One reason why the Boulder beach penguins need saving is because , its to hot, and when they go to get in the water the birds steal the eggs.

What I learned from the spoon ,tray example is that the metal tray felt colder.

I also learned that the conductors transfer heat but the insulate doesn't

This will help me build my home because now I know to avoid metal floors scene it will be directly touching my penguin.]]> 2017-01-20 20:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smitciar/oqyupm5t8pjy/wish/148480811 Day 2 smitciar https://padlet.com/smitciar/oqyupm5t8pjy/wish/148481686 We are testing different types of materials so we could see what would be good material for use to build our home so our penguin won't melt.

Our top three insulators were Mylar, Aluminium, white form.

I would apply what I learned today to built my penguin home because , now I know what to use and what not to use for my home . the three material I would use is Aluminium , white felt , and Mylar because it keep out heat. the three materials I won't use is , black paper, black felt, bubble rap because the heat can get in which would melt my penguin.]]> 2017-01-20 20:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/smitciar/oqyupm5t8pjy/wish/148481686 Day 4 ( final test) smitciar https://padlet.com/smitciar/oqyupm5t8pjy/wish/150391650
What we changed is the shape size , and the materials.

the shape we tried to go for was a circle and the materials we wanted was a Mylar roof and aluminium with paper walls. Also the floor is made of white foam .We also tried not to use a lot of type so we used glue to hold it together and we used type to fill open holes in the wall. 
Also we succeed in everything after we went back and fixed our roof shape and we used glue in steady of type and our percent lost was (4.7%)

  • Our house didn't really have a shape. The walls were made out of aluminum and white paper. Also the ceiling was made out of Mylar. It was glued for the most part we tried not to use a lot of type, but we used a little type to cover the wholes. We didn't success . But it was because the the room and the holes that weren't covered. But our floor succeeded. (2.7% lost)
