  • EDUC 5782: Systems in Science

    3.00 Credits
    Utah Valley University

    Develops a deep understanding of systems at various scales from the universe to the molecular level. Communicates information about how systems are each an organized group of related parts that make up a whole that can carry out functions its individual parts cannot. Develops models to represent systems and their interactions, including inputs, processes, and outputs, along with energy, matter and information flows within systems. Analyzes student work to support the development of students' conceptual understanding and scientific literacy related to systems. Considers ways to promote effective and equitable science instruction both in personal practice and in the science education community.

  • EDUC 5785: Stability and Change in Science

    3.00 Credits
    Utah Valley University

    Develops a conceptual understanding that natural systems are usually stable until changes occur. Constructs explanations of how changes occur as natural systems interact and how systems in dynamic equilibrium are stable due to a balance of feedback mechanisms. Introduces ways to enact phenomena-based, three-dimensional science instruction and assessment that supports the development of students' conceptual understanding and scientific literacy related to stability and change in systems. Promotes effective and equitable science instruction both in personal practice and in the science education community.
