UNIT INTRODUCTION
Phenomenon Lesson - Introducing vaccince storage and transport as a real world thermal energy problem.
After introducing the phenomenon of a device for vaccine transport, students spent two weeks learning about the concepts of thermal energy. An inquiry based investigation based on a NSTA lesson asking why ice melts faster on some objects introduced the concept of insulators and conductors, which became the focus of the engineering challenge the following week.
