= BUILD AN ENERGY-TRANSFORMATION TECHNOLOGY!!! =


 * Summative Project for SPH4C, Unit 5. Energy Transformations **

**Task:** This unit is about energy and energy transformations. Your task is to design and build a device that uses four energy transformations to accomplish a task. Working with a partner, you are to choose ‘option A’ **OR** ‘option B’ below to complete and present at the end of this unit. Both options require you to apply the knowledge you will learn in this unit. The technology or model you will build will involve energy, energy transformations, and efficiency. Your design should help improve efficiency. You will be given time in class to brain storm with your partner about ideas for your project, as well as one class period in the library and one period in class to work on your project. Half way through the unit, you will present your design plan with the teacher.

**Option A** – Your task is to design, build, test, modify, and analyze an energy-transformation technology that uses at least four energy transformations. You and your partner should come up with a design to present to your teacher before building your project. On presentation day, you and your partner will present the technology to the class along with a 5-10 minute presentation explaining how your team came up with the design and the energy transformations it produces.

**Option B** – Your task is to research the design and operation of an energy-transformation technology used to increase efficiency in energy use and create a poster to showcase what you have learned. You will then create a model of the technology that involves the same energy transformation as the technology you researched. On presentation day, you and your partner will describe the technology you researched in a 10-15 minute presentation including how you made your model and all energy transformations.

1) How can you judge whether your technology or model was successful? 2) Who would benefit from the technology you designed or researched? 3) After testing your technology or model, how did you modify it to make improvements? 4) How could the process you used in this task be applied in business or industry? 5) List problems you had while building the technology or model, and explain how you solved them.
 * The following analysis questions should be answered regardless of the option you choose: **
