    Description
    36 hours lecture per term. This course gives students insight, knowledge and techniques for designing scientific early childhood classroom environments that promote a constructivist approach. Emphasis is on the child as researcher, explorer and investigator. Students explore processes that promote in depth science investigation and early math understanding including nature and gardening. Students gain observational skills at the Child Development and Educational Studies Department Laboratory Instructional Classrooms. Field trips may be required outside of regularly scheduled class times. Senate Bill 792 requires proof of current immunizations for Measles, Pertussis, and Influenza (optional), as well as a negative TB test to participate in this course. (Degree Credit) (CSU)
