Pre-serviceelementary teachers will be interested in ways to accomplish multiple objectives at once byintegrating other subjects with engineering and vice versa.There is a strong and growing base of evidence showing that with carefully designed support,pre-service elementary teachers can develop at least three key capacities important to highquality science instruction.
