EDUO 9519: Exploring Plants and Fungi with Experience-Based Activities emphasizes student interaction with concrete materials, encouraging hands-on exploration of concepts, constructing meaning and understanding. The students will be behaving as scientists: Exploring, comparing, measuring, observing, recording data, etc. Students will be engaged in experiments, model building, and art projects that reinforce the concepts. These interactive activities are consistent with common core standards and can easily be adapted to the needs of all students. (Most of the activities have extensions and modifications that allow the teacher to "tailor" the materials to the needs of their students.) The course is structured so that the teacher can choose the assignments they want to accomplish depending on the number of units they are taking (1, 2, or 3), or select the assignments most appropriate for the students they are teaching.
