 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will also have investigated the transfer of heat as two systems come to thermal equilibrium.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be required to participate in a pre-lab-discussion on our Discussion Board prior to the lesson day to determine the differences between conductors and insulators, as well as examples of each.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Completed unit lesson #1, during which they rotated through three different lab stations, discovered, and processed the differences between three methods of transferring thermal energy: conduction, convection, and radiation.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students formed groups and were provided with a problem to solve: “What is the perfect cup for coffee?” They designed and developed a covering for a paper cup that they believe will keep a hot liquid (water) at or above a certain temperature for as long as possible.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students tested their cup once, gathered data, and took pictures of their design. The data, graph, and design have been loaded onto a class Wiki and groups have explained their designs to the class.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Students used a Wiki to both make and receive suggestions for possible design changes about others’ structures and that of their own groups. ||

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Results of their experiments

**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Accommodations and Extensions: ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Provide after school time for students to use audio/video equipment and editing software. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Provide computers for students to use to access the class Wiki after school, as necessary. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Group students and provide accommodations according to IEPs. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">English Language Learners (ELLs) can be grouped with students that will provide more language support, while integrating the ideas of all members of the group.

Students will also be evaluated on their participation in the Wiki discussion once groups have loaded advertisements. At the end of this unit students will take a summative assessment for science content-area knowledge. || <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">References <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">International Society for Technology Education (2008).
