RE: (The History of Chemistry) The Haber Process: A Reaction Few Know About But All Are Dependent On
How much impact some discovery can make! I learned a little bit about chemistry in high school but never related to real life events. I mean, we were doing the practise, and learning the theories, but our teacher didn't explain the 'why' such and such was so important, or what a certain experiment we were doing, was good for. Maybe explaining that would make chemistry classes to complex, maybe it was simply a matter of time available, maybe it is our Ducth system. I for sure learned something today!
Its usually this. They have so many fundamental concepts to cover, that there just isn't enough time to put the concepts into a real life context. Would doing that make things more interesting for the students? Probably yeah. However, then we would need like 4-5 years of chemistry to cover the material :D
You have a point!
