EAPS 31201 - Earth Systems Science For Elementary Teachers


Credit Hours: 3.00.  An Earth Systems Science perspective draws upon the wealth of Earth systems science research in both content and pedagogy.  This approach has served as a guiding framework for how students learn, engage in, and develop deep understandings of the interconnections among Earth’s many different systems of geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere and the important role that human civilization plays in affecting Earth’s other systems.  This course takes an Earth Systems Science approach - an emerging transdisciplinary endeavor - to build students’ understanding of the structure and functioning of the Earth as a complex, adaptive system.Credits: 3.00
