A critical analysis of a variety of objectives, instructional materials and evaluation techniques for teaching elementary school science, with a special emphasis on grades K-4. Consideration will be given to addressing the individual needs of a diverse student population. Twenty hours of field experience are required in conjunction with EDC 322.

This course serves as an independent study in STEM Education research for undergraduate students. The purpose of the course is to provide research experiences for undergraduate students interested in STEM Education research. All work to fulfill this course must be detailed clearly and described fully in advance using the approved learning contract. The student and faculty member will agree on a general schedule of meetings and the outcome of the experiences prior to beginning the course. May be repeated to a maximum of twelve credits.

This course, the second in a two course series, is intended to further develop the practical skills needed to develop effective STEM education teachers in the secondary classroom. Students will build upon the knowledge and experience they gained in SEM 421 by delving deeper into students' content area(s) through field experiences, implementation of a variety of instructional materials, and development of curricula appropriate for teaching STEM Education at the secondary level.
