Synopsis
In this course, pre-service teachers will actively adopt a classic science inquiry approach, the 5Es, to answer a question that integrates aspects of Chemical and Earth Sciences. Alongside their participation in this inquiry will be the requirement to consider carefully how they would plan for and teach such an inquiry themselves, particularly with regard to the safe handling of chemicals. Pre-service teachers will also deepen their existing understanding of the nature of science and the organisation and structure of the Australian Curriculum: Science. Pre-service teachers will apply this understanding in the analysis of a teaching scenario and production of an improved plan, and will extend their skills in science communication by the production of an authentic science report. To enhance their understanding of assessment procedures in science, they will develop criteria by which their learning may be assessed. This course allows pre-service teachers to experience collaborative learning and to consider the integration of ICT, literacy, numeracy and design technology with science.
