Questions to Ponder…
What types of insulation do you know about?
What type of insulation might be in your home?
Why would some insulator work better than others?

Bell Work: 9/15/14
Give a scenario in which the following energy transformation would take place:
- Chemical → Mechanical (kinetic)- Electrical → Light- Nuclear → Thermal
Imagine: Research Insulators by Experimenting Do you have any ideas about how we might test
and compare different types of insulation?
What will be your control factors and variables? Record these in your STEM notebook
Set up the chart below in your STEM notebook:
Testing Insulators Set-up
• Each team will test a different insulator. • After testing, each team will share their results. • The results from each team will be recorded in your
STEM notebook. Here is your chance to earn $250!
Reflection
What types of insulation worked best?
What types did not work as well?Do these findings give you any
information on materials you would or would not want to include in your final design?
Could You Live There?
Draw a floor plan of your new shipping container home.You will need to create a scale and place your appliances and furniture inside your flood plan.
Floor Plan Reflection
Were there any obstacles you came across when laying out your shipping container home?
What would you tell a family of four about the possibility of living in a shipping container home?
