This literature review examines relevant papers on using design to teach science and engineering concepts.\u00a0 The goal of the review is to determine the most relevant theoretical frameworks and methodologies that can be used or modified in a longitudinal case study of elementary robotics students.\u00a0 A model for classifying the studies is presented.\u00a0 The studies uniformly use a constructivist, constructionist, and social constructivist approach.\u00a0 The studies vary in the age group studied, study methodologies, and the secondary goals of the instruction apart from the science focus. The studies report positive results but differ in their recommendations for instruction strategies.\u00a0 However, common themes are providing appropriate scaffolding to connect the design tasks to specific science concepts and processes.<\/p>\n<p>Because the orientation changed, it was inexplicably split into 3 pieces when I created the PDF from Word.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DesignBasedScienceLitReview.pdf\">DesignBasedScienceLitReview<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DesignBasedScienceLitReview.2.pdf\">DesignBasedScienceLitReview.2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsengineer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DesignBasedScienceLitReview.3.pdf\">DesignBasedScienceLitReview.3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few of you may be interested in this literature review of design based science I just completed. \u00a0It reviews a good number of papers and studies that evaluate how science concepts and processes can be taught using design. \u00a0Design &hellip;
