  • Review of Questions

Direct Instruction:

Class to take Notes on Problem Definition, Research, and Identifying Criteria and Constraints

Define the Problem

  • What is the problem or need?

  • Who has the problem or need?

  • Why is it important to solve?

  • The format for writing a problem statement uses your answers to the questions and follows these guidelines:

    • Who need(s) what because why.

    • _____ need(s) _________ because ________.

Background Research

  • many problems have existing solutions.

  • many solutions are inadequate - need improvement

  • learn from the experience of others.

  • Focus on:

    • potential users/customers

    • existing/previous solutions

Specify Requirements For a Solution

  • Criteria - required or desired characteristics in a solution

    • Think about users and the problem description

    • list criteria

  • Constraints - restrictions or obstacles to a solution

    • Review the problem descritption

    • identify and list constraints

How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss?

Experiment Protocol

  • Team assignment

  • Select one material from our material bank.

  • Wrap cans with the material.

    • Use elastics to secure it.

    • adjust it so the cover will cover it.

  • Make sure the thermometer is properly adjusted (short side of block ).

    • check adjustment without the styrofoam insulator beneath it.

  • Set up your test equipment

    • Place styrofoam insulator on the test stand

    • place can on the styrofoam.

    • Adjust insulation so the cover fits evenly over the top of the can.

  • Get water when instructed by the teacher.

    • transport in the double styrofoam cups with a meat tray cover to keep heat in.

  • Prepare a stopwatch.

  • Pour water into the test can when instructed to do so.

    • start the stopwatch

    • adjust so thermometer is centered and lower the cover.

    • put weights on the cover to keep it tight.

  • take temp every 1 minute.

  • clean up when finished.

How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss - Final Experiment Protocol

  • all cans will sit on a styrofoam insulating pad.

  • All thermometers will have their height set by a standard block (as demonstrated).

  • All water will be transported in a styrofoam cup with a cover to minimize heat loss.

  • all experiments will be strated at the same time

  • The offical time will count down on the television.

Homework:

How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss - Experiement Planning due tomorrow.


Today’s Agenda:

“Can you judge a cup by its cover?” should be finished and turned in.

Introduce “How Does Insulation Affect Heat Loss?

General method.

One problem, we will need to cut materials to wrap around the can. We need to know length and width of the piece.

  • width = hight of can

  • Length = circumference

DI: finding circumference and surface area of a cylinder
