Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Students will select one building from their master-planned community to construct a 3D model that absorbs/releases 8% less than the surrounding testing environment.
Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data
