Save the Penguins Self Assessment

Save the Penguins Self Reflection - Take some time to walk around the back of the room and observe the penguin homes that everyone else made. Please do NOT touch! They are listed in order, from left to right, least meltage to worst meltage. Within your class, what place did your penguin home come in? How did your home compare amongst the entire team? Notice that the class average meltage went up throughout the day. Consider the weather yesterday and the placement of the cooker in the classroom. What factors do you think contributed to this trend? What was the class average for your class of change in mass? What was the most creative aspect of your home? What was the most useful aspect of your home? If you could re-make your home, what modifications would you make to increase success rate? If you could assign yourself a grade on this project, what would it be? Make sure you justify your answer using the 5 C's (collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and citizenship) and specific references to content (conduction, convection, and radiation). Be sure that your name is on your paper and your grade is at the top - circled!
