Abstract

It is widely accepted that students' informal learning outside of the classroom can influence their learning in the classroom. Thus, many elementary teachers are considering a wider range of approaches and experiences associated with the STEM disciplines as they incorporate expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards, as well as the learning goals envisioned in A Framework for K-12 Science Education. This chapter focuses on engineering practices enacted in an after-school program as exhibited by third grade students. It explores the interdisciplinary learning of students as they planned and constructed artifacts from teacher created, ill-structured engineering challenges within small collaborative teams.
