This course will provide standards-based context for lessons that students complete in earth science/engineering during 4th grade.  There will also be an introduction to a new place-based lesson about fossils to supplement identified areas where earth science standards are only partially addressed.  The EiE kits are excellent hands-on engineering units (NGSS-ETS standards are supposed to be taught annually), but they are some of the least-utilized kits. This is an opportunity to build capacity and also give feedback about what should be modified to make this a more viable unit.
