understanding of the
scientific |
|
|
|
|
|
knowledge base for the life
and earth sciences |
|
|
|
|
|
taught in grades K-8 in most

RECITATION |
1 |
|
Students will have the
opportunity to practice |
|
|
|
|
|
solving problems relating to
fundamental physical |
|
|
|
|
|
scientific concepts in order
to prepare themselves |
|
|
|
|
|
to teach science in the
elementary grades with |
|
|
|
|
|
competence. The opportunity
to become more |
|
|
|
|
|
familiar with scientific
terminology will also be |
|
|
|
|
|
given. |

Science Outreach |
1 |
|
A course where students will
learn about and |
|
|
|
|
|
participate in science
outreach, involving visits |
|
|
|
|
|
to local elementary and
secondary schools as well |
|
|
|
|
|
as those conducted on the
LCSC campus. Students |
|
|
|
|
|
will assist others (both
faculty and students in |
|
|
|
|
|
NS 470) in the presentation
of outreach programs |
|
|
|
|
|
and will gain valuable
skills in both outreach |
|
|
|
|
|
preparation and
interpersonal communication. |
