Curriculum: Math Science Technology

Catalog description

This course familiarizes students with national and state content standards for science (e.g., the use of the scientific inquiry process by children and their understanding of the laws of nature) and math (e.g., the development of skill in numeric operations and reasoning ability in children). Students develop ability to make effective use of content knowledge in teaching the sciences, mathematics and computer utilization by creating unit plans and lesson plans for several elementary grade levels. Classroom methods and materials are designed and modified to suit children with special needs. Students integrate the teaching of math and science through the study of culturally different numeration systems, writing assignments, database management tools, technology based strategies, library research, group presentation, and project based explorations.
