Thacher Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science teacher Chris Vyhnal is the subject of a lovely profile of his professional achievements in a recent post by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers.
Dr. Vyhnal's passion for teaching is immediately apparent in his profile, and his love of learning is also a driving force behind the dynamism and challenging coursework he brings to Thacher's science curriculum.
"So now what fuels me is research and teaching at the interdisciplinary intersection of chemistry, archaeology, art, and history – a combination of disciplines that has been collectively referred to as 'cultural heritage science.' It's been a real kick to design and teach a high school class centered on chemistry's fascinating applications in these areas rather than one focused primarily on chemistry's theoretical underpinnings in preparation for a standardized test," Dr. Vyhnal explained in his profile on AACT's website.
