Abstract	This preliminary ethnographic investigation focused on how Indigenous traditional wisdom can be incorporated into school science and what students learned as a result. Participants included community elders and knowledge keepers, as well as 4th grade (10-year-old) students, all of Amis ancestry, an Indigenous tribe in Taiwan. The students’ non-Indigenous teacher played a central role in developing a science module ‘Measuring Time’ that combined Amis knowledge and Western science knowledge. The study identified two cultural worldview perspectives on time; for example, the place-based cyclical time held by the Amis, and the universal rectilinear time presupposed by scientists. Students’ pre-instructional fragmented concepts from both knowledge systems became more informed and refined through their engagement in ‘Measuring Time’. Students’ increased interest and pride in their Amis culture were noted.
