Product development is a process of many components. Today Zach experiences the process of designing a logo and getting it onto a product.

6.S.1A – 7.S.1A – 8.S.1A. Conceptual Understanding: The practices of science and engineering support the development of science concepts, develop the habits of mind that are necessary for scientific thinking, and allow students to engage in science in ways that are similar to those used by scientists and engineers. 6.S.1B – 7.S.1B – 8.S.1B Conceptual Understanding: Technology is any modification to the natural world created to fulfill the wants and needs of humans. The engineering design process involves a series of iterative steps used to solve a problem and often leads to the development of a new or improved technology.

Logistics and Electric Transportation

Vertical Farming

Amplified Ag

What can we do as a planet to help address food shortages and produce more food in less space? Zach visits Amplified Ag today to learn about vertical farming and indoor farming.

“6.L.5B.4 Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to determine how changes in environmental factors (such as air, water, light, minerals, or space) affect the growth and development of a flowering plant.
6.L.5B.5 Analyze and interpret data to describe how plants respond to external stimuli (including temperature, light, touch, water, and gravity). 7.EC.5A.2 Construct explanations of how soil quality (including composition, texture, particle size, permeability, and pH) affects the characteristics of an ecosystem using evidence from soil profiles. “

Cyber Forensics

FBI

Today Mitch visits the FBI to investigate how investigators use technology to solve crimes.

8.IC.6.2 Relate the five disciplines of computing (i.e., computer science, software engineering, information technology, information systems, and computer engineering) to careers in various industries (e.g., advancements in healthcare, national security, and transportation).

Manufacturing of Transmissions

ZF Transmissions Plant

What is a trnsmission and how does it work? Today Zach visits ZF Transmissions to explore the manufacturing and function of transmissions.

South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Science Standards 2021 ETS2.A: Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology Engineering advances have led to important discoveries in virtually every field of science, and scientific discoveries have led to the development of entire industries and engineered systems.
