The integrated curriculum infuses reading, writing, and math practice with scientific inquiry and the engineering design process. Teachers can actually save time in their instruction by supporting the common core curriculum in this project based approach. Students' natural interests in science and engineering blossom through both real-world engineering design problems and hands-on inquiry. The activities and assessments promote higher-order, critical thinking skills that will result in improved student performance.
