Abstract

An interactive environmental modular science course (EMS) has been designed for education science majors preparing to become teachers at the primary and secondary level. The purpose of the EMS course is to give students experience in (i) the inquiry method to learn science, (ii) the hands-on approach in gathering data, (iii) the evaluation of data to understand scientific theory, and (iv) the application of inquiry, hands-on methods in the classroom. This course utilizes a three-phase approach: fieldwork and field trips; data evaluation and laboratory experience; and Internet course and interactive Web conferencing. The EMS course is described and examples of data collected by students are provided.
