what do i need to become a middle/high school teacher?

I’m gonna have my master’s degree in chemistry next summer. Do i need to take special teaching classes or something like that? Or can i just send resumes to middle/high schools to see if they need anyone?

That depends on the state. A lot of places are desperate for science teachers, and will give you provisional accreditation. Many other states give provisional accreditation to everyone, and just require that you take a certain number of education courses within a certain number of years. And private schools can hire whomever they want everywhere. I’d recommend looking on the education department website for whatever state(s) you want to teach in.
