GED 8061 - Nature of Science and Historical Perspectives

Fundamental to effective science teaching is a deep understanding of how science works, its challenges through history, and its impact on those we call “scientists.” This course will help students explore science through cultural and historical perspectives and make the history and nature of science more inclusive in STEM-related curricula. This course will also prepare students for completing their final MAT paper.

Please note: This online course is the first of three parts in the MAT degree completion series (Focused Content Plan). It is open to any teacher of science at any grade level but also to those who teach other disciplines and have an interest in scientific practices and learning. A science degree is not a prerequisite.
