AB  - Creating science and engineering practices in the K12 classroom: A survey of the fieldThe recently released Conceptual Framework for New Science Education Standards emphasizesthe importance of science and engineering practices to the K12 classroom. This continues thestress on process and authentic activities as well as inclusion of engineering that hascharacterized science education reform. However, creating these experiences in the classroomis far from trivial. Much of the work looking at the specific structure of such inquiry basedactivities has consisted of either articulating intended goals or rubrics for assessing the degree ofinquiry learning. This paper is intended to illuminate the means for achieving those goals andlevels by generating a taxonomy of different pedagogical structures used for inquiry activities.We aim to articulate structures that are more general than individual lessons but more specificthan broad goals. By systematically reviewing over 600 activities across a variety of curriculumsources, content areas and grade bands, we have validated a set of inquiry activity structures:protocols, design challenges, product testing, modeling, black boxes, discrepant events, intrinsicdata spaces, taxonomies, and modeling. We further explore how particular structures are bettersuited to emphasizing engineering in the K12 classroom, and assess the adequacy ofengineering practice exercises across subject areas and grade bands.
