PHY-101 Survey of the Physical Sciences
Credits: 4
Contact Hours: Lec 3 Lab 2
This physical science survey course is designed for elementary education majors. This course does not satisfy the General Education physical science requirement for an A.A. degree. This course provides the tools and experiences necessary for the elementary education teacher to be better equipped to develop and teach science curricula that supports both state and national science standards. Students work with the scientific method and its applications in the physical sciences: earth science, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology and physics. Previous college level math course recommended.
