Overview of class

This course utilizes a discussion format with a heavy emphasis on real-world applications, sense making, critical thinking, and skills-based activities. The inquiry/discussion approach will help us delve into the concepts of ecology, earth systems and astronomy found on the Illinois Licensure Test. The learning of these topics will be through the lens of the Science and Engineering Practices including Modeling, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, Analyzing Data, Constructing Explanations from Evidence and Computational and Mathematical Thinking. This approach will attempt to understand the content needed to support the NGSS found at the High School, Middle School & Elementary level.
