Teaching Science and Mathematics with Everyday Objects

Catalog description

In this course, students will explore the learning and teaching of key concepts of Math and Science, such as matter and energy, chemical reactions, and parts and wholes, through the use of everyday objects. Topics will include: Kitchen Chemistry, The Physics of Toys and Gadgets, and Using Math to Solve Problems. Students will engage deepening their own content knowledge as well as developing strategies for incorporating these concepts into their teaching of the STEM-D areas. This work will be correlated with Common Core Learning Standards for ELA and Mathematics, as well as Social Studies standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
