Paulo Freire, Coffee, and Critical Chemistry

Today in our critical dialogues group we are discussing the very famous, very influential, chapter 2 of Pedagogy of the Oppressed.  I thought I would post a quote from the chapter and a video that I believe epitomizes what Paulo Freire is calling for in his book.

"Knowledge emerges only through invention and reinvention, through the restless, impatient, continuing hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other." 

Below you will find a slide show on a high school chemistry class that has really taken the ideas of problem-posing education and critical inquiry that Paulo Freire discusses in his book and has put them into action.
