Tracking Science: Following the STEM Trend
Abstract
"With the most recent version of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States 2013), implementing science lessons that embed engineering, technology, and mathematics concepts becomes imperative. Designing and constructing a solar tracker gives students the opportunity to apply science and mathematics knowledge to improve existing technology through the engineering design process. In this article, we describe a teacher's implementation of a solar tracker design task and explain how this engaging and collaborative lesson integrates science, technology, engineering, and math objectives."
