The substance of substances

Chemistry with Graham Kennish (UK)

The first module will start with a speedy overview of the Chemistry curriculum from Class 7 to 12, in content and intention. This will inspire us to investigate the nature of science really and to let go of misapprehensions and associated fears: one foundation of the scientific method is imagination! Please bring an unlit candle for session 1.  

Sessions 2 and 3 will take us through High School Chemistry and consider age-appropriate, cross-curricular and topical ideas and approaches.

Graham Kennish taught chemistry, human science and biology for 20 years at Wynstones school (UK) and worked as a visiting teacher and trainer in Waldorf Schools in the UK, USA, Canada, Slovenia, Chile, Argentina, Ireland, Hong Kong and in Taiwan. He also works as a driving instructor and a BACP counsellor, giving workshops and individual sessions in Goethean Psychology.
