This course is designed for future K-6 classroom teachers. The science content of the course will focus on earth (geology, plate tectonics, hydrologic cycle, weather and climate) and space science (universe, stars, solar system), life science (reproduction, genetics, cell biology and heredity) and environmental science, developed within an interdisciplinary context where appropriate. Application of the science content will be explored through regional natural history, threats to natural biomes and environments, and the dynamics of energy. Active learning of science will include presentations, investigations, experimentation, field work, laboratory work, and field excursions. Field excursions are generally off campus with locations throughout Minnesota. This course builds directly from the preceding course, EDU-246. Both should be completed before admission to teacher education. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. NASP, Spring semester.
