The
physics teaching degrees are the BS in
Physics Teaching and the BS in Composite
Teaching-Physical Science. The two
degrees require a relatively small
number of physics courses in conjunction
with the requirements from the Secondary
Teacher Education Program
(STEP). The principal goal
of our program relative to these degrees
is to give students a scientific
background adequate to prepare them to
teach science.
Learning
Objective 1:
a. Physics Teaching Majors
Students of the program will synthesize
and prepare to teach physics topics in
the Utah Core Curriculum Standards for
High School Physics and AP Physics
1.

Physics Learning Objectives
b. Composite Science
Teaching Majors
Students of the program will synthesize
and prepare to teach physics topics in
the Utah Core Curriculum Standards for
6-9th Grade science. In addition, they
will construct requisite background
knowledge in Chemistry, Biology, and
Geology sufficient to integrate these
other sciences into their future
teaching.

Learning Objective 2:
Students will construct sufficient
knowledge of physics to satisfy Utah
educational standards for a highly
qualified secondary science teacher.
