Evolution of the Esky
In this resource, students engage in an object analysis task. They use objects from QMN’s Cultures and Histories collection and other contemporary objects which have been used to preserve food products to explore how understandings of science concepts (i.e. heat transfer and states of matter) have been applied to create designed solutions that solve a community problem.
