Thermal Energy Transfer Portfolio Introduction 1
Introduction
Over the next three lessons, you will apply what you have learned about thermal energy by completing the following tasks for a portfolio project:
reading about how to design a device to maximize thermal energy transfer
recording your thoughts about using different criteria and dealing with various constraints
considering what supplies you have available for completion of the portfolio project
completing a “Concept Web” to help you narrow down the criteria and constraints for your device design
writing a design plan to create your thermal pad
creating the device using provided instructions and guidance
analyzing provided data to draw conclusions about testing a thermal energy conductor
writing a short paragraph summarizing your findings
collecting data over time on the thermal transfer achieved by your device
completing a “Draw and Write” task with a labeled diagram of your device and a short summary of how a thermal pad functions
reviewing your findings and making improvements to your device or designing a new device to improve on your original idea
When you have finished the tasks, you will turn in the following items in the dropbox at the end of the Portfolio lessons:
your completed Concept Web with criteria and constraints
your written design plan for creating your thermal pad
your completed Draw and Write document with the labeled diagram and written summary
your experimental results, which include:
Create Your Device Part 2 from day 2 of this portfolio
Making Modifications and Retesting from day 3 of this portfolio
your reflection on how thermal pads may be helpful in real-world applications from day 3 of this portfolio

**Thermal Energy Transfer Portfolio Introduction**
---
### Overview
The portfolio project on thermal energy transfer is designed to deepen your understanding of how thermal energy is transferred and how to create a device that maximizes this transfer. Over the course of three lessons, you'll engage in hands-on experimentation, critical thinking, and reflective writing to culminate in a comprehensive portfolio that demonstrates your learning.
### Project Components
1. **Reading & Research**:
- Begin with thorough reading materials about the principles of thermal energy transfer. This will include understanding conduction, convection, and radiation, as well as factors that affect thermal conductivity, such as material selection, surface area, and temperature differential.
2. **Recording Thoughts**:
- You will reflect on the various criteria (e.g., cost, efficiency, materials) and constraints (e.g., time, availability of materials, safety) you may encounter while designing your thermal pad. Document your thoughts to clarify your approach.
3. **Supply Inventory**:
- List the supplies available to you for building your device. This may include materials like different metals, insulation materials, or any other items that could affect thermal conduction and insulation.
4. **Concept Web**:
- Create a Concept Web that visually organizes your ideas, outlining the criteria for success (e.g., maximum thermal conductivity, ease of assembly) and the constraints you will face during the project. This tool will help you focus your design efforts.
5. **Design Plan**:
- Write a detailed design plan for your thermal pad. This should outline your intended materials, construction methods, and how you plan to test its effectiveness.
6. **Device Creation**:
- Follow the provided instructions and guidance to create your thermal pad. Pay attention to details during assembly, as they can significantly affect the performance of your device.
7. **Data Analysis**:
- After completing your device, analyze the data from your testing phase. Be prepared to draw conclusions about how well your thermal energy conductor performed according to the design specifications.
8. **Summary of Findings**:
- In a short paragraph, summarize what you have learned from your experiments, including any unexpected outcomes and the implications of your findings.
9. **Data Collection**:
- Collect data over time on the thermal transfer achieved by your device. Take careful notes on temperature readings and any changes in performance.
10. **Draw and Write Task**:
- Create a labeled diagram of your thermal pad. Include a short written summary detailing how your device functions, emphasizing the principles of thermal energy transfer at play.
11. **Review & Improvement**:
- Reflect on your findings. Consider how you can improve your original design based on the data collected. Plan a new version of your thermal pad or make modifications to enhance its performance.
