Identify the problem gripjake https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229680366 The problem is that the penguins are overheating and leaving their eggs, to cool off, then other birds are eating their eggs. The design challenge question is " How can design and build a shelter that reduces heat transfer and keeps my ice cube penguin from melting?"]]> 2018-02-08 16:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229680366 2.

Brainstorm possible solutions. gripjake https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229682655 The trays demo showed me metal is fiscally more cold than plastic but plastic can absorb more heat. The spoons showed that plastic doesn't transfer heat as well as metal. The roof demo showed that black absorbs heat. Attic vs floor demo showed that heat rises and goes to the top no matter what. All of these demos showed me how we will improve our penguin home. ]]> 2018-02-08 16:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229682655 4.Select one solution. gripjake https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229683168 A cone made of white foam and aluminum foil.

Present and redesign if needed. gripjake https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229684584 There was no successes in our final design, but our prototype was a success. We did not improve. The final percent was 43%. We would start at the prototype and thicken the walls with foil ]]> 2018-02-08 16:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gripjake/ormzqjd0yrfa/wish/229684584
