EDUC 481 - Science Methods
Credits: 3
This course uses experiential methods, readings, and class discussions to introduce students to best practices for teaching science to children. Students keep a science journal, conduct an open-inquiry, and master 5Es and learning-cycle lesson models and questioning strategies that support the learning of science concepts through scientific inquiry. The course emphasizes student thinking, inductive lesson design, and student work analysis for quality science instruction in elementary school classrooms. Specific attention will be given to differentiation of instruction and strategies for meeting the needs of English language learners.
