My Project

I love my school and my middle school students. My eighth grade science students are bright and curious. We are starting an afterschool aerospace club to inspire our students to find their career and passions in the aerospace industry.

My students are eager to learn.

In my class, students learn how to think, not what to think. Science is a process for figuring out how things work. My students learn that science begins with observations and questions which lead to experimentation and data. The analysis of the data leads to the answers and explanations. Rockets will help us get there!
