Are there any physical science teachers out there?

I'm a geologist who has taught geology and earth science at the high school and college level. Why do you ask? \n\nYou can find most of my answers over in science and math, and in earth sciences. I'll be happy to watch for your questions and help if I can.

honestly! you would make a good science teacher. share your knowledge with the kids, inspire them to learn, love and understand sciences. sharing what you know, making it easy for others to  learn science and inspiring them to become one in the future - you're gonna love it.

I could not find any teachers listed in the local area.  Maybe someone will answer your question directly.  Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Very few people with real ability in math and sciences also have the personality type that enjoys teaching... or feels drawn in any way to the teaching profession.\n\nThere are some, that are both excellent at math or science, and have received the "calling." You just have to shop around.

We live in a complex universe.  Hopefully you will one day get a good teacher who knows how to explain it in a way that makes it easier.

I believe it really depends on the individual student.  I also liked the 'hands on' reply.  Whether you are teaching one or many students, don't get stuck on one routine.  Vary them to keep the students interested and challenged!

Almost all of the jobs are in teaching Physics, and those require a PhD for the college level positions.  You would spend years as a grad student, then a Post-Doc slave, then maybe a beginning professorship.  Or, you could take Physics, Chemistry, and Biology courses and major in Education, if you want to teach sciences at the High School level.  Lots more jobs available for that.\n\nIf you just love the practical application of math and want to work with it daily in a well-paid job with plenty of available positions, look into the various engineering disciplines.  You can go from a BS degree right into many jobs, or spend another couple of years to get a Masters and start at a higher salary.

I used to teach chemistry, what is your question?

It dosent matter what it is about, Its it you can use the scientific method correctly. ask you teacher to help you. And don't be afraid to ask. P.S. I've won 2 science fairs 2nd and 3rd Prize.

It's a good question, and I'm not really sure of the answer.  It may have something do do with the fact that some people are talented and motivated to be teachers, some are talented and motivated to be physicists, and there's no apparent reason to suspect a broad overlap of the two.  I've had several physics professors who are obviously physicists first, and teachers just because its part of their job description.  \n    \nOn the other hand, what is the 'easy way' to learn physics?  If you  want an overall aesthetic appreciation of the subject, listening to or watching some of the Feynman Lectures will do the trick (I recommend this, you may be able to find them for free online).  But if you want to be able to DO physics, you HAVE to learn the math involved; physics is inextricably linked to mathematics.  \n\nOne problem I see is that teachers do not provide enough opportunities for student feedback.  Most physics curricula are rigid, and alot of teachers (unfortunately) just try to push through the course, without stopping to check if everyone is on board.  And oftentimes it seems like they just don't care.  Everyone learns subjects differently, and physics is no exception.  Teachers ought to respect this in and out of the classroom.\n\nA guy named Paul Hewitt wrote a textbook and made some lecture videos called 'Conceptual Physics' that profess to be an alternative to the standard rigorous mathematics of college physics classes.  I've seen some of the videos.  They're good...but they're still physics lectures. \n\nPractical advice:  Work problem sets out with a friend, or see a tutor.  A different perspective helps fill in alot of the gaps.  \nAlso, post questions in yahoo! answers and other forums.  An army of sad losers is waiting to help.

My magic 8 ball says no. \n\nSo does my physics professor.

What about discussing dry ice? As a student teacher, I have done many lessons with this. It's fun and fairly inexpensive. Get some dry ice and see what affects it and make a chart. List physical and chemical changes, etc. You can email me if you would like for further help if you like this topic.

This is simply not enough information to elicit serious suggestions.  At first I was going to suggest the topic, "How to teachers keep their jobs, when they are such idiots?" or some such.  But the answer would only depress us all.\n\nYou cannot ask for "specific subject" without even telling us if it is physics, chemistry, social science, or what.  But generally, I think research is most interesting when it is about a subject that most people consider too ordinary to warrant study, particularly if you discover something unexpected about it.  So if chemistry, make it the chemical steps involved in a cake raising.  If biology, make it how human fingers work.  If social science, what factors go into the design of a cereal box?  I once saw a fascinating article about why pizza tends to burn the roof of your mouth.  Real thermodynamics stuff, but with a human, everyday focus.

If you are expecting a phsyics teacher to try and help you, you might want to edit your question and ask the REAL question instead.\n\nExpecting someone to contact you.... to see if you can email them about the help you need...... so they can..........\n\nLife is too short. Way too short. ASK the question you need help with, not asking if someone is prepared to answer a question!!!

don't you have a teacher to speak with?
