Feel the Heat — NASA JPL lessonScience · Astronomy · Grades 6–12Lesson plan

Middle school engineers will use a liquid passing through tubes to collect heat energy from a source location and move it, just like the heat rejection engineers working on the Curiosity and Mars 2020 rovers. After brainstorming ideas and building their design, students will have to test their designs to see how well they work. The criteria for success in this case is to capture a measurable amount of heat from the lamp into the liquid. The more heat that is captured, the better the design. Stu
