Stability and Change in Science. ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Develops a conceptual understanding that natural systems are usually stable until changes occur. Constructs explanations of how changes occur as natural systems interact and how systems in dynamic equilibrium are stable due to a balance of feedback mechanisms. Introduces ways to enact phenomena-based, three-dimensional science instruction and assessment that supports the development of students’ conceptual understanding and scientific literacy related to stability and change in systems. Promotes effective and equitable science instruction both in personal practice and in the science education community.
