Can anyone recommend good science sites with good resources for teaching?

We Answered:

What grade level and type of science are you looking for? Bio, earth/space science, physical science, chem, straight physics? Elementary, middle, or high school?

There's a huge range of sites out there; please let us know what you're looking for and I'm sure you'll get some great answers. :)

Are there any states where you can teach science with a B.S. instead of a teaching degree?

We Answered:

This is an area of confusion for many people. I see similar questions often here on YA.

It depends on what you mean.

To teach you need state certification. (often called a credential or state license) Most people earn their certification after completing their BA (or BS). With Your BS - You'd simply need to do the following:

1. Enter a teacher certification program. This can be traditional (completed before you get a teaching job) or alternative (there are programs that allow you to earn your credential *while* teaching - very intensive...usually only offered in areas of high need - science is one of those) This program supplies you with your methods and curriculum courses (the *how* to teach)

2. Pass various state tests - Your subject matter certification, basic skills test and often states require a language aquisition certification test

3. Do your student teaching.

Those three things are the purpose of the teacher credentialing programs. There are no positions in public schools without those three (NCLB rules)

Now - a second way to read your question is that ...are there any teaching jobs for someone with simply a BS in Micro? The answer is no. (unless you look into private schools - but most likely still no)

i myself have a BS in micro - and currently teach math and science in a Los Angeles middle school. (before i started I needed to earn certification to teach those subjects.- program, tests and student teaching)

Good luck to you!~

Identify a problem that teacher often experience when teaching social science (secondary)?

We Answered:

i believe that a problem might arise is if the teacher is not well inform of the events that past and make or shape the country, or political opinions. You also got be prepare for those students that are smarty and want to make a fool of you.
