-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
An opportunity for non-science and lower-division science students to carry out independent projects in the natural sciences under the supervision of a faculty member. Projects range from laboratory and field observations to the development of materials and apparatus for use in laboratory exercises and classroom demonstration. In general, one credit hour corresponds to four hours of work per week. Permission of instructor. (F,W).

Three hours lecture. (AY).
-
3.00 Credits
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.
