  • EDUC 4320: Force and Motion in STEM for Elementary Teachers

    3.00 Credits
    Southern Utah University

    This course is one of six courses needed to earn an Elementary STEM endorsement. This course provides preservice and inservice teachers with a deep understanding of force and the nature of how students use the concepts of force to make sense of phenomena across life, earth, and physical science. This understanding enhances participants? insights into 1) how force, energy, and matter interact; 2) the relationship of force to energy and interactions within fields; and 3) pedagogical content knowledge around teaching and learning about force. This course provides teachers with knowledge of how concepts in force may be used by students, with the Crosscutting Concepts and Engineering and Science Practices.
