My name is Denise Ambrose and I am originally from Hawaii. My husband and I have lived in West Virginia for the past three years, after spending some time experiencing life in a few other states as well. I have always been fascinated by the physical sciences and I am planning to teach high school chemistry and/or other high school science classes.
I believe young people learn best in an enthusiastic and engaging environment that includes hands on projects and activities where they can apply the concepts they're learning.
Students in my future chemistry classroom can expect to perform a variety of experiments aimed at reinforcing their knowledge of topics such as states of matter, the relationship of molecular structure to properties of matter, and formula writing. I would also love to take my students on field trips to laboratories and a variety of other places so they can appreciate how the field the chemistry is used in today's world.
