4.00 Credits
The course stresses understanding physical science to allow one to explain concepts to others, whomever the audience. Focus is on the development of fundamental concepts, reasoning, and critical-thinking skills through discovery learning and Socratic dialogue in the laboratory setting. Topics include mass, volume, density, buoyancy, heat, temperature, and electric circuits. Ideal for students preparing for careers in education. Fulfills Foundations - Physical Sciences with a lab. (0-0-6)Offered fall semester.
