EDEL 330 - Curriculum and Pedagogy in Elementary School Science

This course provides an introduction to teaching elementary children about science and 'design and make' technology. Such themes as children's learning, science/technology/society connections, the Alberta program, planning and instruction and assessing children's progress will be explored. Students may not receive credit for both EDEL 330 and EDEL 372. Prerequisite or corequisite: EDEL 305 or 316.
