Teach students to understand the nature of the universe.<br>High school physics teachers help students learn how to solve problems and think critically using calculus and other forms of higher math that are integral to understanding the principles of physics. They help their students explore the complex interplay of mass, energy and gravity. Physics teachers must have a high level mastery of math and a deep understanding of scientific principles to communicate both to their students.<br>The BS in Secondary Education, with an emphasis in Physics, prepares students to teach in secondary school settings, grades 9-12. This program requires the selection and completion of required coursework in physics and includes field and practicum experiences in high school settings, culminating in Missouri teacher certification.<br>This program coordinates with the Department of Physics where youll be exposed to research and teaching laboratories and a wide variety of modern research instrumentation. Much of the discipline-specific coursework parallels the BA or BS degree in Physics, however, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires specific coursework for teacher certification.
