Electricity-Magnetism for Middle School Teachers is designed to meet the needs of teachers in the elementary grades with a focus on the Physical Sciences content of the grades 3-5 section of the Massachusetts Frameworks for Science and Technology/ Engineering. Topics include: electricity, magnetism, light and sound, and forms of energy. During class meetings, students will engage in lab work that provides both instruction in content and models learning activities that are appropriate for the elementary classroom. Course assignments are designed to support participants’ development of curriculum material, incorporating the connections between content and pedagogy, which will be relevant and useful in their school setting.
