Solar Heater Design Project
This design project, which covers 5th grade math and science standards, encourages students to create a box that will be the most efficient at heating up water. All students will need to receive the same clear plastic water container, but then design a box to go around it. They may design any size, and then use materials for the inside or the outside of the box that they believe will create the best environment for maximizing the sun’s energy to heat water. After building and designing the box,
