This interactive course is designed to provide pre-service teachers an opportunity to review and experience constructivist instructional strategies, develop a unit of study via the Understanding by Design model, learn to integrate technology with instruction, evaluate various curricular materials, and to discuss state and national science standards, laboratory safety, gender equity and special education issues. Classroom activities related to performance assessment, inquiry methodologies, Socratic seminar, and classroom management will be conducted. Communication skills will be emphasized through mini-lesson presentations and cooperative group activities. Arrangements will be made for the students to observe science lessons in a secondary school setting. Limited to students seeking secondary education certification in biology or chemistry. Three hours lecture. Offered fall. 3 credits

CHE 499 Independent Study In-depth coverage of a single topic, appropriate for upperdivision chemistry majors, with topic to be chosen by mutual agreement of student and instructor. Limited to chemistry majors only with a science GPA of 2.33 or higher. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor, department chair, and dean for academic affairs. Variable hours. Fee. Offered fall, spring and summer. Variable credits
For general education requirements, consult pages 66–74 (34– 48 credits). Students must take PHY 101-102* (with laboratories, 8 credits) as their scientific literacy requirement for the major. Majors also must take MAT 130 as a quantitative literacy course or a free elective. Minors need only take MAT courses required as CHE course prerequisites. Biology majors may only earn a chemistry minor by satisfying the requirements listed below in addition to taking two approved CHE courses above and beyond the requirements of their biology program. **Students interested in teaching at the high school level need to double major in Chemistry and Secondary Education.
