EE house
In your blog post, describe your house and HOW it is energy-efficient. Make sure to be specific and explain thoughtfully.
our house has many rooms, lots of solar panels and wind turbines, and 2 stories.
it is E.E because the panels and turbines give us all of the energy we need.

Title: Building an Insulator
Categorize: Science
This week in science, we worked in teams to create a water bottle insulator that kept the water inside the bottle the coldest for the longest amount of time. First, we planned what we would need, how we would build it, and sketched our first design. Next, we tested our design to see how well our insulator worked. Below you will see the results and how we will improve our first insulator to make it even better!
An insulator is… something that slows the transfer of heat.
Here is a picture of our original design:
The materials we used were… tin foil, tape, rubber bands, water bottle, and a plastic cup
Results! What was the temperature of your water to begin with? After 15 minutes? After 35 minutes?
| Time | Temperature (in Fahrenheit) |
| 0 minutes | 55 |
| After 15 minutes | 51 |
| After 35 minutes | 55 |
The engineering process includes thinking about how to make your design better and re-building your product. The improvements that we will make to our insulator are… none
These changes will improve my insulator because… we are not doing improvements
Here is a picture of my re-designed insulator: no changes
New results:
| Time | Temperature (in Fahrenheit) |
| 0 minutes | 43 |
| After 15 minutes | 45 |
| After 35 minutes |
- Here is the word problem my partner and I solved: Carlos can throw a ball 14 yards. His friend Raul can throw 3/7 of that distance. Is Raul’s throw longer or shorter than 14 yards? How do you know? How far did Raul throw?
- Here is a picture of my visual that represents the problem:
- Here is my equation(s) with a variable to represent the unknown answer: 14/7=2
- When predicting my answer, I know my answer will be smaller or larger because…smaller because I know that 7 x 2 = 14
- Here is a picture of the work I did to solve the problem:
- My answer and label is…2 yards per 1/7th

Title: Building Reflection
What about the building process was challenging? it was not challenging because we did not have to use that many materials.
How did your build differ from your plan? (If your build was different than your plan, update your plan!) use wood instead of cardboard.
How did your group work well together during the build? What would you do again? we each had a part to do during the process.
How did your group struggle during the build? What would you change? we did not know how to build the tower.
