They need saving because they are becoming extinct do to over heating in the sun and abandoning their eggs.]]> 2018-02-12 18:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761338 Step 2: Research renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761460 We can research the problem and see possible ways to solve it
1. Mylar
2. white foam
3. white felt]]> 2018-02-12 18:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761460 Step 3: Brainstorm renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761583 Come up with new ways to solve the problem with others we can make the floor an insulator and have the house tall so the heat rises up and have a mylar roof]]> 2018-02-12 18:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761583 Step 4: Select a Solution renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761724 Our roof is covered in Mylar to reflect the radiation, construction paper for the penguin to stand on, and aluminium for the walls to keep heat out.]]> 2018-02-12 18:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761724 Step 5: Make a Prototype renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761895 2018-02-12 18:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230761895 Step 6: Test It renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230762113 Our roof was very protective of the radiation.
Our walls were to thin and heat passed through easily.
Percentage loss: 32%]]> 2018-02-12 18:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230762113 Step 7: Modify the design renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230762200 We added 2 more layers of mylar on the roof to reflect more radiation than it did previously. We made the walls thicker to hold the heat out of the center.]]> 2018-02-12 18:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230762200 Step 8: Present/Redesign renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230762370 The design went well because we had  very simple yet very effective house. Adding a door to cover one of the sides was difficult because we had to have a gap for the penguin to go through.
Final percent lost: 18%
I would make the house taller so that the heat that did make it in could have somewhere to rise]]> 2018-02-12 18:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/230762370 renwbenj https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/234822735 2018-02-23 17:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/renwbenj/qjs51xf1ohsq/wish/234822735
