Not much background in chemistry or physical science, but you'd teach it if you could?

Or, you'd teach chemical concepts, physical science concepts  and critical thinking in science better and more often if you had practical lessons for middle school students?

You've noticed that children's ideas about natural events and "how we can find out for ourselves" are sometimes different from yours?

You've heard about "hands-on science" and want to try some?

Does the mention of the proficiency test leave you feeling unsure about how to prepare your students?

You'd like a solid graduate course in which you'd learn about selected topics in physical science and children's thinking?
