I thought the course was pretty good overall. The content was solid and relevant, and it was well organized. I did expect more focus on teaching techniques and instructional strategies, though. The course leaned more heavily toward writing lesson plans than I anticipated. That part was still useful, but a clearer emphasis on practical teaching methods would have made it stronger for me.

I learned more about physical science and have more confidence teaching it. I enjoyed the topics and how easy it was to adjust them to the grade levels. Some of the links were either broken or connected to the wrong website. I did my own research when I couldn't find answers from the links. Overall, this course was good preparation for science teachers.

The experiments that Mr. Harms provided in his course are well organized and easy to follow up. The students were engaged in all the topics covered by the experiments. The open-ended materials and videos helped students to understand better the topic. They were able to make predictions, observe, investigate, and report different Science Phenomena.
