Course Overview

From our own biology to the smartphones in our pockets, science plays a role in every aspect of our lives. If we want our students to navigate such a world, they must be able to logically examine and process all of the information they receive.
Welcome to EDUO 9511 – Scientific Method. The purpose of this course is to create a thorough, well thought out unit on the scientific method. To that end, participants will not only be provided with resources on the scientific method, but will also explore the next generation science standards as well as the importance of STEAM in education.
