HEMDA - Where Tel Aviv high school students study chemistry and physics

• State of the art equipment and facilities.
• Teachers, mostly scientists with PhDs  who do their own research as well as teach.
• Teachers and students all working together. ( Although when observed you wonder why they are arguing?  but it is science they are discussing).  Through discussion comes innovation.
• Teachers have a 40 hour, 11 month work schedule.  
• There is a spirit there similar to a ball game in Winslow.  Motivation & enthusiasm.

Spring is coming to Tel Aviv.

Statue, but a typical thinking pose :)

At HEMDA
Physics students preparing for
exams.  There was no teacher
in the room ( he had 2-3 rooms
going on at the same time, reviewing) but these guys were BUSY. 

 Students are comfortable at HEMDA. :)

 Equipment galore. Chemistry and physics.

 All classrooms are laboratories.

 Teachers have small offices where they can work or meet.


And Dr. Tehilla Ben-Gai, director of HEMDA and a motivating force!

 Biggest periodical table ever- with samples of items made from these elements.
