Use of the versatile 555 timer integrated circuit (IC) is shown for projects that producelight, sound, and motion outputs that are similar to those found in everyday devices, e.g.telephones, appliances, and toys. The resources illustrate how this low-cost IC can serve as acentral element for control and switching

Although elementary sciencecurriculum (i.e. FOSS, STC, Insights) and elementary engineering curriculum (i.e.Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way) exist, they are typically notintegrated. The STEM disciplines are still taught as independent silos. Elementaryteachers typically have different curriculum materials for each subject, and elementaryengineering curricula is in its infancy. In other words, a ‘STEM Curriculum’ does not yetexist, so teachers are expected to teach separate engineering and science curriculum.This leaves minimal opportunities for integration of science and engineering, much lessfor math and technology

to be used with the very audience for which they are intended.Many projects that are funded by NSF result in the production of lessons and activities. Anexamination of the literature shows that existing rubrics are designed to assess lesson planquality, perhaps as a way to assess the effectiveness of professional development. Another set ofrubrics can be found for lesson plans generated as a part of a preservice teacher program, whichare designed to generate a grade. This paper looks at lesson plans differently, without an attemptto assess quality. Because so many constituencies are creating lessons around engineering, andthose constituencies come from so many different academic backgrounds, the question of howthey get their approach to
