| Abstract: | Knowledge of the Nature of Engineering sets the stage for students to develop technological literacy and may influence student interest in engineering. Once students have a good understanding of engineers and the Nature of Engineering, we connect to the pulley and domino activities the students have completed. ENGINEERING ACTIVITY USING A PULLEY (DAYS 1 AND 2) In the first task, students are directed to collaboratively complete an engineering challenge involving a pulley. In addition to providing opportunities for children to learn about science and engineering concepts through guided play, engineering activities can be used as a foundation to teach students about the Nature of Engineering.
