As stated by Kain (2003), “Given that PBL has a record of success in sparking such curiosity and motivation, it is well worth considering as another tool to engage students” (p. 5). The authors’ search for a research validated model that would promote inquiry and allow an integrated approach to teaching science at the elementary school level led them to explore PBL (Bartels, 1998; Edens, 2000; Gallagher & Stepien, 1995; Krynock & Robb, 1999).
