Bio:
I have been teaching Science and Chemistry for almost 20 years and this is my twelfth year at Appleby. I have taught Grade 9/10 Science and Grade 11 / 12 Biology at my previous school but now I mostly teach Grade 11/12 Chemistry here.
I try my best to teach my courses following the scientific method approach. Most experiments I do with my students are at the start of the unit so that they can go through the discovery process and learn by observation. I prefer this approach to the old school approach of being told scientific information and confirming that information using experiments at the end of the unit.
I also believe that students should be coached to use their scientific knowledge and skills to tackle real world problems.
