Description

Our Project is focused on an educational Unit Plan that integrates aspects of STEM education into the lesson while also having a focus on the social justice background of having an environmentally friendly school transportation system. School transportation is a problem, especially in urban areas, where many students are not afforded this opportunity. After learning about the effects of air pollution on the environment and the importance of students having access to transportation, students will work in groups to optimize bus routes for their school to save time and energy. Using an integrated STEM approach, students will utilize knowledge and strategies from content-specific areas to produce efficient transportation models to meet the needs of the school community.
