Why Elementary Engineering? Why EiE?
Technological literacy is a basic 21st century literacy.
Engineering makes math and science relevant and integrates other disciplines.
Engineering practices build and reinforce 21st-century skills.
EiE increases students’ awareness of and access to engineering and science careers
EiE is consistent with the Framework for K-12 Science Education.

Engineering is Elementary Lessons that integrate engineering and
technology concepts into elementary scienceGoal 1. Increase children’s technological literacy.Goal 2. Increase elementary educators’ abilities
to teach engineering and technology to their students.
Goal 3. Increase the number of schools in the U.S. thatinclude engineering at the elementary level.
Goal 4. Conduct research and assessment about engineering teaching and learning at theelementary level.

Lesson 3: Science Connection
Activate prior scientific knowledgeTest and gather data about:•Materials and their properties• Efficacy of materials for a particular purpose
Gain understanding about:• Related scientific phenomena • Conducting tests, making predictions, drawing conclusions
