0415. TCHG SCI SEC SCH TCHRS (3 s.h)


0529. Aerospace Education Workshop (3 s.h)

Includes instruction in atmospheric and space sciences, dynamics of flight, navigation, communications, and air power. Designed to help teachers incorporate aerospace concepts in elementary and secondary school curricula. Field trips are correlated with instruction.

0562. Field Biology and Ecology for Teachers (3 s.h)

For in-service and prospective teachers K-12 who wish to use principles and examples of ecology. The Schuylkill Valley Nature Center is used for field work investigating topics such as population, succession, and food chains.

0565. Meteorology for Teachers (3 s.h)

Considers basic meteorological principles, drawing upon physics and chemistry as a basis for understanding. Includes synoptic meteorology as well as curricular concerns for secondary schools.

0713. The Teaching of Science in Secondary Schools (3 s.h)

Prerequisite: 30 semester hours of science courses and teaching experience

An in-service course that examines science-teaching strategies and their apparent effects on secondary pupils. Literature pertinent to this task introduced from the journals of science and science education. Development of classroom materials by teachers.

0714. The Teaching of Biology (3 s.h)

Prerequisite: course in science education and biology and chemistry content

A laboratory-oriented course designed to provide a comparative evaluation of secondary school biology curricula with emphasis on the BSCS Biology.

0716. Teaching of Chemistry (3 s.h)

Prerequisite: course in science education and minimum of introductory general chemistry

Orientation, methods, and materials for the CHEMS program and programs developing from CHEMS, emphasizing the role of the laboratory.

0726. Demonstrations in Science (3 s.h)

Designed to give teachers an opportunity to develop skills in the use of demonstrations and demonstration-laboratory activities in their science classes.

0727. CRITICAL ISS IN MATH/SCI (3 s.h)


0730. Special Projects in Science Education (3or6 s.h)

An individual study course for advanced students and a few special students, teachers of kindergarten through college, who have a need or see a need to develop specific written curriculum materials or research projects under appropriate advisement.

0731. Special Projects in Science Education (3or6 s.h)

An individual study course for advanced students and a few special students, teachers of kindergarten through college, who have a need or see a need to develop specific written curriculum materials or research projects under appropriate advisement.

0743. The Academy of Natural Sciences as a Resource for Teachers (3 s.h)

The Academy of Natural Sciences as a teaching/learning resource will be explored by the student through interaction with the administrative, scientific, and educational staff of the Academy. Teachers develop knowledge for their own classroom purposes. Open to science and non-science teachers, K-12.

0765. Laboratory Experiments in Relation to the History of a Science (3 s.h)

Allows students to gain historical perspectives of their science fields as these sciences relate to the development of the other major disciplines; biology, physics and the earth sciences. Each student will recreate one or more early classical experiments and develop materials for their own use and for use by others.
