-
3.00 Credits
A non-mathematical survey of astronomy. Topics will include the solar system, stars, and galaxies. Three hours of lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
3.00 Credits
This course serves as a study of pedagogy used in the teaching of middleschool science curriculum. It addresses basic models, strategies, and skills necessary for teaching science content. Course will utilize lectures, speakers, candidate projects, and field experiences. The purpose of this course is to prepare candidates for successful middle- level classroom teaching in the fields of science content through providing candidates with knowledge of the basic principles of instructional planning and presentation to include a repertoire of basic teaching models, strategies, and skills. The course will emphasize methods that actively engage students in learning and offer specific consideration for the integration of mathematics and science.
