My Project

I am moving into the role of science teacher as we embark on a departmentalizing journey this upcoming school year in the 5th grade! Our students miss out on some of the experiments because we do not have the materials necessary for them to safely engage with the activity.

My goal is that all 90 students (broken into 4 classes) will have the ability to truly interact with the world of science!

These kids are at such a moldable age and I want them to remember their time with me being fun and hands on, not just time spent in the textbook. To do this, we will need aprons and safety glasses.
