Synopsis
In this course, teams of pre-service teachers will choose a science inquiry approach, appropriate to answering a question that integrates aspects of Physical and Space Sciences. Whilst conducting this inquiry they will consider decisively how they would plan for and teach such an inquiry themselves, particularly with regard to planning safe excursions. 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 planning of a safe and engaging excursion complete with pre, during and post activities, and will extend their skills in science communication by the production of the script of a Science Play for a particular year level. The culmination of their understanding of assessment in science will be their development of criteria for the assessment of their own learning. This course allows pre-service teachers to experience collaborative learning and to consider the integration of ICT, literacy, numeracy and design technology with science.
