ECED 400 Math, Science, and Technology3 credits
Students will research, plan, implement, and evaluate developmentally appropriate practices to develop integrated math, science, and technology experiences for children. Students will design inquiry-based activities related to topics like magnetism, cause and effect, shadows/light, motion, patterns, measuring speed and distance, color and light, and nature. This course will also include an overview of developmentally appropriate methods for incorporating math, science, and technology skills into all areas of the curriculum and classroom environment.
Prerequisites: ECED 340 and ECED 350
