Description:
This 1-3 credit course is intended for in-service and pre-service teachers and for other students enthusiastic about science, or who think they might like to try their hand at science teaching. The goal is to give participants an opportunity to share many of the PEARLS Physics on the Road activities taken out to schools. The course is NOT restricted to teachers nor to education majors, but is open to all who value service learning, science, and education. The course will be offered during the summer AND fall semesters. Fall semester will meet on Monday evenings from 5-7 p.m. Students taking the course will have opportunity to 1) experience techniques of science inquiry and independent study that can be used in classrooms, including "the 3-ring circus" approach, 2) prepare demos and/or hands-on activities, 3) match their curriculum to Indiana State Science Standards.
