20 Weeks
0.5 Credit Grades 9-12
This course is filled with projects that incorporate the connection between math, science, and project-based learning. Transportation is a course where we will explore how technology has developed different ways to move people, goods, and services. The four areas of land, sea, air, and space, will learning process where students will have the opportunity to design and build rockets and explore drone flight and flight theory. Advancements in land transportation systems such as vehicle systems and the latest technology that assist us in our everyday transportation needs. Our water unit will explore boat and watercraft design along with boater safety and water transportation projects.
