My Project

Most of the items in this project are for a Valentine's Day speed dating/proposal activity that we do to wrap up our unit over bonding. The items will help add a pop of 'love colors', engagement rings, and some much-needed caffeine to lucky match couples! The Alani Nu and Prime Energy drinks are also going to be added to our 'Coffee Corner' which provides an incentive and beverage selection to students on various occasions.

Making chemistry fun is what I am passionate about!

The items in this project will help decorate the classroom, freshen up our decor, and give students some incentives to work towards.

The books will be added to our coffee corner to provide some discussion invoking ideas which will also tie in to some of our biochemistry lessons. The paper clips, highligters, pens, and other office supply-type items will be used to replenish what I have used thus far this year.
