Episode Synopsis
Send us a textFrom my first encounter with a chemistry set as a child, science has been my sandbox of curiosity, a place where Barbie dolls endured the brunt of my early experiments. Fast forward through a high school experience that almost extinguished that spark, to a military stint, then onto a biochemistry degree and a career in the biotech industry. But it was the undeniable pull towards teaching that reshaped my world. In this inaugural episode of 'Teaching High School Science', I, Doc, unfold my journey from the lab to the classroom, sharing the highs and lows that come with inspiring young minds. As we navigate through my story, you'll learn why I transitioned from biochemist to high school teacher and eventually to a private tutor, passionate about making science education accessible and engaging outside the traditional classroom. No stone is left unturned as we tackle the challenges and triumphs of teaching science—from the heartache of public education's limitations to the joy of witnessing students' 'aha' moments. Join me as we chart a course towards demystifying science education, exploring hands-on strategies for homeschoolers and online educators alike, all while fostering a collaborative community of learning and curiosity.Thanks for tuning in!
