This course is designed to develop your knowledge, skills and confidence as a future teacher of science. You will be introduced to some of the 'big ideas' in science and learn how these provide the conceptual framework that anchor a meaningful and coherent curriculum. This conceptual knowledge also provides a context from which to improve your science inquiry skills and understandings of science as a human endeavour, including valuing Indigenous knowledges and the importance of relationships, through a range of hands-on learning experiences.

Your learning in this course is both collaborative and participatory and you will engage in inquiry-based, learner-centred, and design-thinking pedagogies as you develop your expertise in the field. As both a learner and a teacher you will gain the skills to teach how science can be taught in ways that engage and motivate children across the early years and primary school contexts.
