EDU 250 Science Concepts in Education



This course is an introduction to the basic scientific principles that underlie the domains of earth, space and physical science (e.g. plate tectonics, the solar system, electricity).  Designed as a content specific course (not a methods course) for education majors in all Early Elementary and Middle Level education programs, it will emphasize the facts and concepts necessary for a substantive understanding of earth, space, and physical science.  The content and skills taught in this course are required to teach science in the elementary and middle school settings (across PreK-8).  The course will also emphasize the critical reasoning and problem solving skills needed in the scientific community.
