Course content
The course Science 1 (module 1 and 2) gives a background in the science and pedagogical content knowledge enabling the students to teach science in primary and lower secondary education. Module 2 deals with among others biology topics of physiology and organisms' building blocks, from genes to organs. In physics the module offers the topics of mechanics, electricity, magnetism and energy. Knowledge on technology and its application are also important topics. Further, the module gives insight into pedagogical content knowledge related to students' conceptions, deep learning and cross-disciplinarity of education for sustainable development and technology.
