The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.
-Ferdinand Foch
A spark has great potential to make a change. Your challenge in our last project of the year is to spark a change at our school...with an idea.
This year we explored matter and energy in various ways. In this project you are challenged identify and help to solve a problem by considering how our school uses energy.
The driving question for this project is:
How might we change actions, systems, or objects
in our school to reduce the amount of energy
that we consume in one year?
You will create a proposal of an idea related to this question that will be presented to a principal, school business director, school director, or school board member at our school. Your finished project must include, but is not limited to:
- A conceptual model of idea - This could be in the form of physical models, labeled diagrams or detailed drawings.
- A written proposal to give to your audience on the day of the project. Using your best persuasive writing and mathematical problem solving skills the group must complete a written proposal that:
- outlines the need for the solution
- explains the solution (should include models)
- outlines the costs and benefits of the solution showing essential mathematical models that prove the validity of your idea
- Well-planned and rehearsed presentation 5-7 minutes in length that includes all group members in some way.
