Abstract | Young children love opportunities to build, discover, and solve problems. Teachers can take advantage of these natural tendencies by introducing students to aspects of engineering design while they engage in classroom activities. Engineering also lends itself to supporting students in developing disciplinary literacy practices such as learning from informational text read-alouds and engaging in structured writing and talking opportunities, which are part of the "Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts" (CCSS ELA; NGAC and CCSSO 2010). In this article the authors overview a coherent unit designed to support students in engaging in engineering practices to deepen their understanding of the kindergarten physical science performance expectations (PEs). Then they provide examples of key activities from the unit that supported the integration of science, engineering, and disciplinary literacy. (ERIC). |
