Chemistry Teacher

Chemistry Teachers are secondary science teachers who specialise in chemistry. They work at high schools and middle schools across Australia and introduce students to the theory and application of chemistry in the real-world — plus engage in laboratory demonstrations and experiments.

As a Chemistry Teacher you’ll be developing lessons and activities that comply with the Australian Curriculum (Science, Chemistry). At the same time, you’ll be maintaining discipline in the classroom, developing the interest of your students, ensuring the safety of kids in the laboratory, grading homework and exams, recording test results, liaising with parents, and maintaining scholastic records.

To be successful in this occupation you will need to have a genuine love of chemistry and a strong desire to educate and inspire the next generation of chemists, medical researchers, and environmental scientists.
