Grades 3 and 4 explored heat retention through hands-on engineering workshops. Students built model habitats, tested their ideas and learned how materials and design can help reduce heat loss.

Grade 4 teams designed a warm home for an imaginary dog called Buddy and tested how well it retained heat. Grade 3 applied its learning about heat loss in a habitat-building experiment led by visiting UOIT students.
