Credits: 1
This course covers selections of basic physical science concepts, materials and curricula appropriate for elementary school. The course is designed to allow students to experience strategies and instructional activities introduced in physical science courses and to be a link between what the prospective teachers learn and what they will teach. It provides the opportunity to participate in and discuss appropriate activities, strategies, and programs in a teaching area related to physical sciences. Specifically this course will base these experiences on the Conceptual Change model for providing teachers strategies for addressing students’ preconceptions and misconceptions.
