High school students teaching

High school students should have a greater understanding of global environmental issues. This can be accomplished by using environmentally-relevant examples to teach high school chemistry. Appropriate demonstrations and laboratory experiments that illustrate these topics are suggested. To incorporate additional environmental chemistry in die secondary curriculum, help from environmental scientists will be needed.

In eight years of teaching high school students in both private and public schools, I ve learned that on the subject of education their ideas are often sounder and their opinions sharper than what s coming from the on-high experts and theorists. Two of them, in particular.

As a high school student my goal was to go on to the University of California at Los Angeles — ucla. I succeeded, and it could not have been a better experience. It was there that I was guided to premed courses. I would, years later, come hack to ucla to teach and to continue my research on the impact of the atomic bomb on the children of Nagasaki. To this day I remain deeply impressed with the quality of education offered at this great state-funded institution. 

The capabilities of MBL have broad applications to science teaching. To begin to explore the implications of these capabilities. Tinker and Barclay [25] initiated a series of clinical classroom trids of MBL in the f l of 1980. The primary goal of this work was to determine whether elementary and junior high school students could use MBL, and whether its use could facilitate cognitive development in science. Additional goals were to develop instructional strategies adapted to the capacity of MBL and to observe whether there were any sex-based preferences for this approach.

The more serious problem, in my opinion, is why students are not going into the chemical and physical sciences. That problem starts farther back. It starts in the high schools in this country because no one now majoring in physics or chemistry intends to go into a high school and teach.

During his next four years as an ETH student, Einstein did not excel in regular course attendance, relying far more on self-study. In 1900 he passed his final examinations with good grades, which qualified him as a high school teacher in mathematics and physics. For the next two years he had to be satisfied with temporary teaching positions until in June 1902 he was appointed technical expert third class at the Patent Office in Berne.
