ProjectResearch, Construction, and Use of Fuel
Efficient Stoves and their Application
OverallTo look at, understand, and practice fuel efficient design in stoves in the context of heat and conduction.
Purpose
In-depthLook at the overall in the context of the displaced community of Darfur. The importance of a fuel efficient stove:1. Safety: not having to leave camp as
often to collect fuel2. Health: less smoke and emissions
when operated properly3. Environmental: smaller impact on
environment through taking of fuel sources
4. Light and heat for user: improved quality of life.
“What stove design is the most fuel
efficient?

4.Incorporation of PBL
How this lesson incorporates the elements of Project Based Learning
Real World Application
Students learn why fuel efficient stoves are a real world issue and are often a major issue for various communities, namely refugee and displacement camps.
Core to Learning
Students learn the ins and outs of what makes a stove fuel efficient through the research and creation of their own unique version of a stove.
Green
Structured Collaboration
Blue Yellow
Students will work in teams to formulate a stove design based on collaborative research and then implement their findings to a conclusion.
Student Driven
▧
Multifaceted Assessment
Students will test how efficient their stove is at the end of the unit where they will measure the time, amount of wood, and heat produced by the stove. ▧ Recording of results
and checkpoints through blog
