Penguin Protector

Engage students in problem-solving and creativity as they explore the science of insulators and heat transfer! In this imaginative engineering challenge, learners design a way to safely transport a penguin across the desert. Students investigate how insulators prevent heat from passing through and apply that knowledge to build a structure that protects their penguin from desert heat. They also design their transports to roll smoothly, keeping their penguin passengers safe as they move across the sand. This playful, hands-on scenario combines animal science, physics, and engineering design for an unforgettable classroom experience.
