Crosscutting Concepts

CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES - 04250 - 1 CREDIT 

Prerequisite:  Two credits in Science

Credit: Science

Description: This course will explore science, technology, engineering and math as they relate to the physical settings of chemistry and physics.  Crosscutting concepts will be explored to allow students to connect knowledge from chemistry and physics into a coherent and scientifically accurate understanding of the world.  Problem based learning will be integrated with direct instruction and laboratory instruction for students to demonstrate their knowledge of the scientific method and STEM disciplines, collaborate with peers, apply their own creative process to develop solutions, and communicate them to their peers. An emphasis will be placed on laboratory and literacy skills, and data collection with analysis in both chemistry and physics.
