CHEM 101: Thirty Years of Experiences with a Chemistry Course for Prospective Elementary School Teachers
Donald B. Phillips
Department of Chemistry, Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, MI 48197

July 2001
Vol. 78 No. 7
p. 905
Abstract
The science education program for preparing future elementary school teachers at Eastern Michigan University consists of a sequence of four three-credit courses in physics, chemistry, earth science, and biology. The chemistry part of the program is described in detail. A unique feature of the program is that teaching methodology is integrated with the science content. Students are introduced to teaching experiences early in the program. These include presenting demonstrations in the physics course and teaching a short chemistry lesson, and culminate with more extensive science teaching experiences in elementary schools in the biology part of the course. Instructors of the chemistry course include Ph.D. scientists as well as science educators and lecturers.
Supplement
A detailed description of the chapter content, experiment activities, and the composition of the mini-lessons is available.
