Solar House

First 45 minutes:

Your job is to work on constructing your solar house that is roughly the size of 2 shoe boxes.  It must contain the following.

A floor made of 12 x12 tile (on counter) for thermal mass.  DO NOT break the tile.
A 4 in x 6 in (10 cm x 15 cm) open hole for a window (we will add window material on Monday)
At least 1 cm of insulation in the walls and appropriate roof insulation (remember, the R-value is about tripled)
A door that can open and close
A roof that can be taken off, or flipped open.

Your groups are as follows:

Group 1: Alex, Sam, Corey
Group 2: Cassidy, Deandre, Brian
Group 3: Jordan, Cassidy S, Michael
Group 4: Christina, Carlee, Sarah M.
Group 5: Kaylar, Kristen, Kaitlyn
Group 6: Clayton, Sarah D., Blake
Group 7: Bennett, Alex L, Max

At the end of 45 minutes, place your houses (they must have a name on them) ON the side counter by the second sink.  Anything that is anywhere else in the room will be discarded by the janitor.

Second 45 minutes:

Go to your table.  Work with one partner and a computer to complete the Personal Evaluation for the Week.
