Insulin Storage and Shipping Container Engineering Design Challenge

Up your students’ knowledge and skills with this Design Challenge. Filled to the brim with fun, easy-to-use resources, this box has everything students need to engage, create, and investigate. Insulin Storage and Shipping Container Design Challenge OverviewStudents design, construct and test a container for storing and shipping insulin that keeps 6 or more vials of insulin between 10 degrees C and 35 degrees C for at least 24 hours regardless of the outside temperature. The container must minimize thermal energy transfer to keep the insulin cool. Who It’s For:This design challenge, which comes with all necessary materials, is designed for middle schoolers (6th – 8th grade students). Using the Argument-Driven Inquiry instructional model, students will explore minimizing resource use and waste, energy transfer, and transformation topics. Standards Alignment More details Six sets of high-quality materials for designing an insulin storage container. Serves up to 24 students working in small groups. Designed for middle school students. Can be used for STEM Camps, engineering and science classes, after-school programs, and more. Takes approximately 12 hours to complete, but it remains flexible to your group's needs.
