Staying Warm, Keeping Cool

Did you know there is science and engineering involved in creating clothing that protects people from harsh conditions? Engineering helps keep firefighters cool in a blaze. It helps workers in frigid locations stay warm. Find out what goes into designing and engineering clothing that protects us from the elements in Staying Warm, Keeping Cool. Alignment, This book supports NGSS Standards for engineering, providing examples and resources to help students generate and compare multiple solutions based on how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the design problem, and plan and carry out tests with controlled variables and noted failure points to identify improvable aspects of a model or prototype.
