INTEGRATED SCIENCE GROUP MAJOR

FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHING (K - 8)

Updated May 2019

The Integrated Science major (State Code: DI) for Elementary Certification consists of

38 credits distributed over three areas of emphasis: Life Science, Earth and Space

Science, and Physical Science. The courses must include significant laboratory experiences.

Teacher Candidates for certification in this major must pass the Michigan Test for Teacher

Certification (MTTC) Elementary Exam (Test #103).

Teacher candidates are strongly

recommended to also take the Elementary Integrated Science exam (Test #093) for

marketability purposes. MTTC content exams should not be taken until 90% of course work in

the subject area has been completed.

Study guides are available at the MTTC website:



and

Elementary

(Elementary:

The courses below meet State standards and have been selected so that teacher candidates

will be well prepared for the test. Knowledge must be demonstrated in the following categories

in order to successfully pass the MTTC subject area exam:
