Each semester.Science Education CoursesSCED 322: The Teaching of Elementary Science 3 s.h.Examines methods of presenting science in the elementary school. Provides experiences in learning process, scope and sequence ofscience concepts, methods of investigation, problem solving, laboratory skills, scientific attitudes, newer curricula, reading materials,observing and working with elementary school children, and developing, teaching, and evaluating lessons. Two hour lecture and twohours laboratory weekly. Each semester.SCED 456: Electronics for the High School Science Teacher 4 s.h.Intended for the science teacher who has had a little or no previous course work in physics or mathematics. Covers the fundamental lawof electricity and magnetism, alternating current theory, and the theory and practical application of such devices as ammeters, voltmeters,oscilloscopes, vacuum tubes, transistors, power suppliers, amplifiers, and oscillators. Examples of some of these devices will be built inthe laboratory, and general procedures for trouble-shooting faulty equipment will be illustrated. Summer only, on demand.SCED 460: Science Curricula in the Middle and Junior High School 3 s.h.Acquaints students with modern science curricula for the junior high/middle school levels. Stresses recent developments in curriculaobjectives, science content, teaching strategies, and laboratory activities. Individual projects included. Annually.SCED 463: Astronomy : Observation and Field Studies 3 s.h.Examines experimental tools and methods useful in astronomy. Concentrates on mastery of important techniques and concepts bya “do-it-yourself” process, not an encyclopedic survey of astronomy. Complements courses in descriptive astronomy (ES 200 and201 and SCED 550) rather than duplicating them, serving much the same purpose as a laboratory in astronomy. The student will buildsimple telescopes, spectroscopes, and other astronomical instruments.

Students must participate insmall group discussions by asking questions that have arisen during the time since the last seminar and to share some of the practicaltechniques and ideas they have discovered. Students evaluated as to their willingness to seek out answers to their personal questionsand to stimulate their peers with provocative questions and practical solutions. Prerequisite: Concurrent with student teaching.SCED 576/BIOL/ES 476: Science, Technology, and Society: Topics for Teachers 3 s.h.Interdisciplinary course covering topics in biology, earth science, chemistry, and physics. Acquaints students with information,curricula, and teaching methodologies appropriate for teaching STS topics in traditional science courses. Students will be involved instudies and hands-on activities concerning science computer software, testing water for chemical and biological agents, and remotesensing techniques in geology, geography, physics, and medicine. Students investigate and discuss ethical issues and scientificprinciples concerning computers, energy, nuclear waste, biotechnology, and others. Participants will develop curriculum activities forimplementation in their science discipline. Required course for environmental biology, general science, and earth science certification.Prerequisite: Junior standing. Annually.pages i-viiCollege of Educationand Human Services
