Preservice elementary teachers will learn the essential science concepts established by the Kentucky Core Content for Science, which includes topics in areas of geology (rocks, minerals, soils, volcanoes, earthquakes, structure of the earth, etc.), weather (sun as the source of energy, temperature, pressure, seasonal weather patterns and weather prediction, etc.), and astronomy (sun-earth-moon system, solar systems, stars, etc.). Students will learn these science concepts through a process of direct observation of physical phenomena, making sense of those observations through inference and reason and in collaboration with fellow students and instructors. Not acceptable for majors or minors in the Earth and space sciences. This course satisfies the required core computer competency for general education.

Prerequisites: senior standing and admission to the professional semester in education; to be taken during the last semester of on-campus work. Pre or corequisite: SCI 591 or 592. A final experience in which students will develop a set of classroom and laboratory activities that are usable as they stand in the secondary science classroom as well as learning about equipment, safety and disposal issues pertinent to teaching secondary science. This will facilitate the entry of the student into an actual teaching position. This course, when combined with EDSE 499C, satisfies the integrative component for general education.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: senior or junior standing and consent of instructor. A directed research project will be designed, data will be collected and analyzed, in consultation with a faculty advisor. A primary literature search and research proposal will be completed using library facilities and current technology. This research project will culminate with a scientific paper and oral presentation in SCI 499C. This course, combined with SCI 499C, satisfies the integrative component for general education.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: SCI 498. Completion of the directed research project begun in SCI 498. A formal report that includes the basic literature search and appropriate experimental work will be prepared in a form suitable for submission to a scientific journal. A scientific oral presentation of the research will be made to the faculty. In addition, an oral presentation at a state, regional, or national scientific meeting will be encouraged. This course, combined with SCI 498, satisfies the integrative component for general education.
