| Course Code | CR15 |
| Course Title | SREB AC IST Nature of Science and Tech Honors |
| Course Description | This is a contextual-based course that introduces students to the core fundamental concepts of science and technology through authentic projects. Through these projects, students will develop an understanding of the relationship between the physical, biological and social world. Students will gain an understanding of the differences between science and technology, and learn that technology is a process for applying science. Students will develop a deeper understanding of scientific inquiry and the engineering design process when solving real-world problems. Students will experience the interaction of science, technology, engineering, math and literacy through a problem-based learning environment. Finally, the process will require students to use mathematics to analyze costs, develop budgets and make precise measurements to successfully implement project goals. |
