Candidates will examine strategies and pedagogy related to the life, earth/ space and physical sciences. National standards and the application of those standards to K-5 lesson planning will be emphasized. Research will focus on best practice as candidates learn to plan, instruct, and assess life, earth/space, and physical science unit and lesson plans. Candidates will also create integrated unit lessons connected to science, technology, and societal issues. Inquiry-based learning experiences will be studied and constructivist activities will be modeled as candidates learn to plan, present, and assess constructivist unit and lesson plans for K-5 students.
