My Students

I teach 12-14 year olds science in our school. Our school's pillars of focus are Mind, Body, and Will. Our school is unique as we are a PreK-12 charter school. We have many families & students who start in PreK and stay their entire schooling careers. It helps make a strong community because families, students, and teachers know each other for years--and in some cases generations.

They build structures, create models, design & test their products, they reflect on their decisions and learning, they challenge each other to get the most from each day, and they support each other mentally, emotionally, and physically.

They love learning, they love sharing their expertise, and they love helping each other learn through meaningful connections & purposeful lessons.

My Project

After a year and a half of Hybrid & Distance Learning, we NEED as many opportunities for hands on learning as possible! The Arrow Air Rocket sets & Refills will help students learn about forces, flight, motion, and energy! Newton's hovercraft and the Puck Set will help students understand how collisions impact forces, motion, and energy. The Electronic scales will help students compare their mass measurements to triple beam balances which we already have. It will also save time when we dive deeper into chemistry & other physical science topics!

These resources will help me empower students by helping them feel more like authentic scientists!

The more hands on learning opportunities they have gives them opportunities to see themselves as real scientists, engineers, chemists, nurses, etc.
