| Description : |
This course will be an introduction to basic variables (length, area, volume, mass, time) and the Scientific Method (picture, table, graph, questions). There will be extensive use of TIMS (Teaching Integrated Math and Science) project curriculum. Participants will experience and prepare for various lab activities and analyses designed for elementary and middle school grades. Emphasis will be on methods important to successfully implement these experiments in a K-8 classroom. The essence of modern science, as it is practiced by scientists, is to understand the relationships among variables such as: length, area, volume, mass, and time. Mathematical tools accessible to students to investigate these relationships will be demonstrated, used, and discussed relative to the lab activities. Activities will be selected from topic areas such as, Classification, Frequency Distribution, Length, Area, Volume, Mass, Time, Velocity, Acceleration, Density, Force, Inertia, Work, and Energy. |
