Course 8 - Creating Interdisciplinary Science Units
Course Description
How can we collaborate with our teaching colleagues to create interdisciplinary chemistry units? In this module, we will explore how we can collaborate with other teachers (non-science and science and across content areas/grade levels) to develop interdisciplinary chemistry units.
Topics addressed
- What makes a strong interdisciplinary unit?
- Planning templates for mapping out a solid interdisciplinary unit
- Ideas for science content that would work for an interdisciplinary unit
- Collaboration “best practices”
