SCI 3030 - Life Science For Prek-6 Teacher


Credit(s) 4

This course provides a standards-based exploration of the content and teaching methods in life science necessary for the preK-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 inquiry-based lessons in life science. Laboratory exercises will be a critical component of the course. Topics covered will include biological classification, characteristics of living organisms, plant and animal life cycles, fundamental concepts in human biology, nutrition and exercise, environmental resources, and conservation of natural resources, among others. (This course may partially satisfy the Liberal Arts Core laboratory science requirement for students in the preK-6 licensure program only.)
