SCI 3010 - Physical Sci. Prek-6 Teacher

Credit(s) 4

This course provides a standards-based exploration of the content and teaching methods in physical science necessary for the Pre-K-6 classroom. Building on the foundational methods discussed in SCI 3000, this course provides students the opportunity to actively learn in an inquiry-based format, as well as to create and teach lessons that reflect the goals of the Virginia Science Standards. Laboratory exercises will be an important component of the course. Topics covered will include force and motion, work, power, and energy, simple machines, temperature and heat, static and current electricity, magnetism, sound, light, and matter, among others. (This course may partially satisfy the Liberal Arts Core laboratory science requirement for students in the Pre-K-6 licensure program only.)
