During the course of these workshops, teachers completed aseries of activities that allowed them and us to investigate their conceptions of models in scienceand engineering instruction.As teachers’ knowledge mediates their classroom instruction, it follows that their conceptions ofmodels and the utility of models will mediate their use of models in the classroom. It isincumbent upon engineering educators, therefore, to understand teachers’ conceptions of models.In this study, we are interested specifically in teachers’ conceptions of models as they relate tonanoscale science and engineering education.

Contextualised by the current UK Primary School NationalCurriculum, from which engineering is totally absent and applied science is only superficiallycovered, the paper argues that the inclusion of engineering as a foundational level subjectcould not only enhance children’s learning experiences, but could also ignite their‘engineering imaginations’ thereby unlocking potential which is currently left mostlyuntapped.BackgroundLooking across modern-day society it is not unreasonable to postulate that the world hasreached a ‘tipping point’.

examining dam failure through modeling is an equally usefulactivity in the K-12 STEM classroom. These models can then become the vehicle for usingstudent observations and sense making to develop linkages between underlying STEM conceptsand the constructed world around us. The pedagogical challenge is instruction that exploitsstudent learning around the processes and mechanisms that underlie visible phenomena, which isoften temporally and spatially inaccessible within the elementary science classroom. Studentsremain fixed on reporting the observable aspects of the phenomena without truly understandingwhy. As important, when students begin thinking about phenomena at a microscopic level, theyapply their macroscopic observations as to why something

Within the context of the engineering lessons, we foresee this takingshape through the teachers asking students questions such as “why do you think that happened”or “what do you think that means”. Questions like this get the students to think critically andtruly be able to “own” their knowledge, rather than being told to memorize terms or concepts.This is where the practical applications of assessment categories most show through in theclassroom.Results:In our pre-survey we interviewed 18 elementary school teachers to see if they
