    An inquiry-based physical science course suitable for prospective or practicing elementary teachers majoring or minoring in science studies. Students will construct meaningful understanding of physics and chemistry concepts through discussion, hands-on experiences and computer simulations. Specific topics will include the application of the atomic model to the behavior of gases, physical changes, and chemical changes. A learning-cycle pedagogy will be employed that consists of elicitation of initial student ideas, development of new or modified ideas, building student consensus on final ideas, and the application of ideas to new situations. 3.000 Credit hours 2.000 Lecture hours 1.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Discussion, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division

    A problem-based learning course suitable for prospective or practicing elementary and middle-school teachers who major or minor in integrated science studies. This course builds on and reinforces content learned at the introductory level by applying life science concepts to complex real-world problems presented in class. Students will work in small groups to identify and research concepts and principles they need to know in order to progress through the real-world life science problems. The case studies used will require the understanding and application of concepts in cell structure and function, genetics, animal and plant physiology, and ecology. 3.000 Credit hours 1.000 Lab hours 2.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Discussion Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
