This course encourages the active exploration of the question, "What is effective science teaching?" Students construct their own ideas about effective science instruction so those ideas can inform their developing science teaching styles. Aims to increase student comfort, confidence, and competence in using effective science teaching methods by relating the nature of science to the way children develop an understanding of the science of nature, introducing practical, applicable models of best practice techniques, providing opportunities to experiment with those techniques in risk-free setting, and enriching understanding of critical science concepts. Personally meaningful constructs of good science teaching will emerge. Prerequisite: Admission to the Elementary Education M.A.T. program. 2 semester hours
