ENVS 105 - Earth and Physical Science for Elementary Education and Lab
Prerequisites: None
This course is designed as a foundation in the Earth and physical sciences for future elementary school teachers. The goal of this course is for future teachers to gain a better understanding of major principles and processes so that they will be more comfortable with and proficient in teaching physical and Earth science in the elementary classroom. As such, this course focuses on science content and not science pedagogy. Topics include the following: matter and motion, light and sound, the solar system and basic astronomy, the solid Earth including Plate Tectonic Theory, and the fluid Earth’s atmospheres and oceans. The laboratory reinforces the concepts of the class and provides students with a hands-on, inquiry-based introduction to the process of science.
