The Wonders of Waldorf Chemistry
From a Teacher's Notebook, Grades 7-9
(Author) David S. MitchellThis practical book covers chemistry in grades 7 through 9. There are descriptions of demonstrations, experiments, and clear step-by-step procedures for the class teacher. There are twenty-five short biographies of men and women scientists.The phenomenological approach to chemistry in Waldorf schools is a method designed to push the students to observe closely and to think deeply about what they observe rather than memorizing formulas or accomplishing experiments that prove an established theory in science. Instead the students discover, perhaps something new and never before discovered, in their experientially based lessons in science.
