    Description
    This course is a broad based introductory study of the physical sciences for future elementary and middle school educators. The topics covered are part of the California science standards and are designed to introduce physics and chemistry. Topics include energy, forces, motion, magnetism, electricity, gravitational interactions, properties of light and sound, changes of state, physical properties, atomic structure, and chemical changes. Drawing from their own observations and laboratory experiments, students will develop concepts and construct models that can predict outcomes of experiments.
