The course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of electricity and magnetism appropriate for teachers of grades 5-8 and consistent with the Massachusetts Frameworks for Science and Engineering/Technology. In addition to providing a foundation in physics content, students will work in an inquiry-based mode with hands-on investigations and lab activities being an integral part of the course. One of the significant outcomes of this course should be the participants' ability to recognize and utilize the skills of inquiry learning in the design and implementation of science curricula in their own classrooms.
