PHYS 101 - Introduction to Physical Science for Elementary School Teachers
4 Credits
Nature plays by a set of rules usually called the “laws of physics.” In this course, we will explore the cosmos, and humanity’s place in it, as revealed by these fundamental laws of nature. Topics of the laboratory-based course include: motion, force, gravity, work, energy, electricity, magnetism, light, heat, sound, the Sun, the Earth, and the Solar System. The laboratories will be inquiry-based experiments that use the scientific method. Since the quest to understand the natural world is one of humanity’s oldest activities, this course will encompass issues concerning the history and philosophy of science. The main objective of this course is to give future elementary school teachers the opportunity to study physical science to gain the knowledge that they will need as classroom teachers to teach aspects of physical science. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. Laboratory Fee: $50. (LAS) (SI)
Prerequisite(s): or and , , or three years of high school math, including a study of algebra, geometry and trigonometry.
