As a future chemistry teacher, I have some questions about necessary
credentials and experience. Should every science teacher have
been an active member in the scientific community before becoming a
science teacher? Including first grade teachers?
Or
are there other ways to obtain experience relevant to teaching
science? What about the connections between dark room photography
and chemistry? Or more generally, art and science? Might not a
really observant person have a lot to contribute to the loopy story
telling method of science described above?
