Physical Science

Catalog description

ISCI 2002 is a Field of Study content-specific course for pre-service, early childhood education majors (K-5) that focuses on the most fundamental components of physics and chemistry. The scientific content to be covered will encompass the concepts required for successful delivery and assessment of the Georgia Standards for Excellence (GSE). Understanding through exploration, experimentation, and problem solving are to be employed to develop lasting connections to the varied subcomponents that present themselves in teaching the physical sciences. The course, as designed, is a fully integrated laboratory course with a flipped-classroom instructional model. This course is three semester hours of credit upon successful completion. Prerequisite: MATH 1111 highly recommended.
