TitleScience Fair Project
Note This slide goes on the back of your board
on the top right. No names on front so that it is
fair during judging. Make sure that you design a
large title on the front of your board.

• Names
• School
• Grade
• Teacher

Create a unique title for what you are doing!

Problem

• What is the problem you are trying to solve? -
  Remember the challenge TSUNAMI ON THE WAY!
   Imminent tsunami on its way to hit the East
  coast of the continental U.S. that resulted from
  the eruption of, and landslide that followed, the
  Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands, a
  volcanic archipelago off the coast of
  northwestern Africa.  Since much of our
  electrical power supply was wiped out, student
  engineers must work together in small groups to
  design the most efficient solar cooker and other
  solar devices to help these disaster victims.

Research

• Think of these questions as you write your
  research in PARAGRAPH FORM! What are the ways
  heat is transmitted? What is solar energy (think
  of the two forms passive and active)? How is
  it useful? What are the benefits and drawbacks of
  using solar energy? Try to discuss the
  mathematical relationship among reflection,
  transmission, and absorption of light. Discuss
  how certain materials may be more effective in
  directing and concentrating the suns rays and
  why that may be.

Possible Solutions

• Think of the ways you may have adjusted your
  final model so that it was better. What did you
  discuss as a group? Did you have any
  disagreements or problems that you faced while
  drawing your proto-types for solar cooker
  designs? On these slides, you want to upload any
  pictures and/or drawings of your initial ideas
  when you got together as a group. Show
  everything that you discussed and what your
  thought process was like!

Chosen Solution / Prototype

• This should show an actual photograph of your
  final solar cooker / solar energy device and
  drawings of different views of your model front
  view, top view, side view.

Procedure
Write your detailed procedure! This procedure
should be able to be followed by someone who had
no idea what you did and was not a part of your
group. This means that if a certain step is not
easy to describe ONLY in words, you should draw a
simple sketch to go along with the words to help
describe what you mean.
10
Results / Pictures

• Add any pictures that you took with your phone or
  camera. You may ask the teacher if he/she has
  any pictures of your group working.
• Give any results and pictures of your solar
  energy device in action! You may use the sheet
  labeled Temperature Data to record your
  findings and create a graph.

Conclusion

• What did you find? Were you successful? What
  might you do differently next time? What did you
  learn? What questions do you still have?

References

• List any and ALL references that you used while
  conducting this engineering design project.
