analyse disciplinary knowledge;
evaluate interdisciplinary perspectives.
(Math) Demonstrates proficient ability to recognize patterns in the relationship between two variables and extensive knowledge of how to form a regression model
(Science) The student will proficiently solve computational problems which relate the current to the power and the voltage and problems which relate the current and voltage to work (or energy) and time
(Design) The student will develop detailed and relevant design specifications which are based on an analysis of other student’s designs, the design context, and scientific and mathematical understanding, and which guide their design inquiry into sustainable energy production
