  1. The Role of Theories in Physical Science A&S and MG Ed. Faculty Collaborate to Design Course that Meets the Needs of Diverse Teacher Candidates

  2. Karynne Kleine, Rosalie Richards & Vickie Deneroff MG Education Chemistry STEM Education

  3. History • Age/scope of Integrated Physical Science • Student demographics • Purpose of course

  4. Heart of Redesign • Group projects • Access to ‘experts’ in order to create presentation that would show understanding of theory development as well as phenomena • Popular Texts • Bryson Short History of Nearly Everything (accessible physical science) • Winchester Krakatoa(geological processes) • Lovelock Gaia Hypothesis (geochemical interactions) • Greene Elegant Universe (string theory)

  5. Degree to which deficits were addressed • Understand how knowledge is generated in science and role of theories to explain observations in physical science (well-done) • Differentiated curriculum (needs further attention) • Technology use (not addressed at all)
