of the connector. Figure 10. Elementary Students Using the Car Kit During the LessonThe students established connections between the scientific knowledge and engineering practicesaddressed during the lesson. They were able to differentiate between electric and gasoline cars, butrecognized that both used batteries and electric circuits, albeit within different engineering designs.As a result, the knowledge they developed in this lesson could apply to both types of cars and inparticular, help the students differentiate between technologies. When prompted to explain whybuilding the car the way they did allowed the car to move, some of the students based theirexplanations on energy conversion from the battery to the wheels.The

Similar in style and format to theflipped classroom [5], studios are now being used in science, technology, and engineering areas,as well [6]-[8]. During the freshman and sophomore years, the studio courses are one-credit hourofferings that focus on the students completing projects.While the goals associated with adding the studio courses are intended to benefit all students,some of these goals are of particular benefit to the older students, including military veterans.Although some new content is taught, these courses are “content light”; the main purpose is forstudents to apply concepts learned in the other courses taken during the same semester.
