The Rahman Lab<\/h2>\n\n

Also known as The KZ Lab.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

My name is Zeshawn Rahman. I\u2019m an educator by day, a researcher by night, and a vintage Kawasaki enthusiast on the weekends. I teach high school chemistry in Philadelphia and previously served as adjunct faculty in chemistry at Temple University.<\/p>\n\n

This is where I share my work at the bench, in the classroom, and in the garage.<\/p>\n\n

02 \/ TEACHING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Students as scientists.<\/h2>\n\n

From university laboratories to high school chemistry in Philadelphia, my teaching centers on observation, experimentation, and explanation. I want students to ask questions, work with evidence, and see themselves as scientists.<\/p>\n\n
