Welcome to the SLED Welcome to the SLED project!project!
What is SLED?What is SLED?SLED, Science Learning through
Engineering Design, is a partnership project of Purdue, four Indiana school districts, and community partners designed to help improve students’ science learning in grades 3-6.
The SLED project is supported by the National Science Foundation through its Math Science Partnership program.

Targeted MSPTargeted MSPNSF’s Math Science Partnership
(MSP) program supports linkages of higher education institutions with schools and other partners to improve K-12 mathematics and science education.
Targeted partnerships study and solve issues within a specific grade range or at a critical juncture in education, and/or within a specific disciplinary focus in mathematics or science.
Goal of the SLED Goal of the SLED PartnershipPartnership
Our aim is to increase grade 3-6 student learning of science by developing an integrated, engineering design-based approach to elementary school science education.
◦Introduction to engineering design◦Work with science/engineering
disciplinary faculty on design challenges◦Try out design activities that can be used
to address science content in grades 5 and 6
◦Think about how you can integrate these activities in your own classroom, and provide feedback to improve the activities
SLED Summer InstituteSLED Summer InstituteWeek 2: Building curriculum and
context◦Go on field trips to local and area sites
to see science/engineering in action◦Participate in mini-workshops to build
knowledge/skills◦Do curriculum mapping to determine
where to best address science concepts◦With school partners, develop lesson
implementation plans to integrate design activities into broader curriculum in your classroom
Summer Institute LogisticsSummer Institute LogisticsPlan on a daily schedule of 8:30am to
3:30pm. If you must miss any workshop time, please let us know.
NSF requires us to take attendance daily. Full compensation and PGP points are conditional on full attendance.
Parking is available in C (red sign) spaces south of the building and, for overnighters, at the residence hall.
Working lunch (and light breakfast items) will be provided daily except for Monday and Thursday of week 2. You will be on your own for lunch on those days.
Summer Institute LogisticsSummer Institute LogisticsOn Monday morning of week 2, you will
visit a local science/engineering site. Activities here will resume at 2:00pm.
Tuesday of week 2, plan to arrive here about 30 minutes early. The bus taking us to visit SIA departs at 8:30.
You have options for mini-workshops during week 2; sign-ups will be posted.
Purdue and school administrators are invited for lunch on the final day.

One basic rationale from the standards:“As citizens of the constructed world, students will participate in the design process.”
New Indiana Academic New Indiana Academic StandardsStandardsStudents will learn to use materials and tools safely and employ the basic principles of the engineering design process in order to find solutions to problems:Define a real world problem and list criteria for a successful solution.Design a moving system and measure its motion.Design a prototype that replaces a function of a human body part.Apply a form of energy to design and construct a simple mechanical device.
Questions to PonderQuestions to PonderWhy do you think Indiana has
included the design process in the new science standards?
What barriers do you anticipate you will encounter when integrating design-based practices?
