My Project

I would like to make learning science more fun for my students by providing more individualized activities and interactive learning experience. My students love to explore, collaborate and discover new exciting things and possible apply or relate it to real life. Being able to work collaboratively and perform meaningful tasks in class gives better opportunities for lifelong learning. Hands on learning encourages creativity, critical thinking and camaraderie among students. I am hoping that this project will help make it happen. We appreciate your time and thank you so much for all your support.
