About Me

My name is Ryan Cool.  I am from Lenox, a small town in Preston County.  My hometown has a population of roughly 40 people.  I am currently majoring in chemistry education.  I also hope to obtain a chemistry degree and a physics education degree.  I believe that children need to work together in groups for real world purposes, but they also need the individual ability to reason through problems.  Chemistry and physics are used to teach complex problem solving skills, which are necessary for everyday life.  In the classroom, students should expect all the individual activities such as lecturing and testing.  Students should also expect to be grouped together during lab instructions.  Therefore, they will learn individual and group problem solving skills.
