For example, Energy is introduced in local schools in Grade 4 and typical classroom curricula covers: Matter and Energy, Technology/Engineering and Engineering Design [9]. According to the state curriculum frameworks, the overview for Grade 4: Matter and Energy states:“In grade 4, students observe and interpret patterns related to the transfer of matter and energyon Earth, in physical interactions, and in organisms. Students learn about energy—its motion,transfer, and conversion—in different physical contexts….” [10]In terms of engineering, technology and applications of science, the same state

A Framework forScience Education gives engineering and technology a greater focus [19]. In our approach,Common Core State Standards for Mathematics content domains (e.g., ratios and proportionalrelationships, statistics and probability), and standards for mathematical practice (e.g., makingsense of problems and persevering in solving them, modeling mathematics, choosing appropriatetools) are integrated with science and engineering practices from next generation standards (e.g.,“asking questions/defining problems”, “using mathematics/computational thinking”), as
