NSCI 696G - Group Study: Natural Science Education: Engaging Students with Authentic CSU STEM Experiences

This course is designed for in-service secondary science and mathematics teachers interested in learning new strategies for inspiring middle and high school science students with the relevant and exciting new scientific research being conducted at CSU. Each session will include 1) a concise presentation from a CSU faculty researcher, 2) time to discuss pedagogy and brainstorm ways to translate their scientific content into hands-on activities that bring excitement into the classroom, and 3) time to use the hands-on STEM kits on these very same topics that the NSEOC has available for immediate loan. The course requires pre- and post- session homework.
