My Students

My students are home town outdoor kids who don't know much about their own home. We are an agricultural based town with some migrant workers. Thirty percent of our students are Hispanic. Many of my students are a little behind in Science and our Science Department is trying to break some misconceptions about science and help kids get excited about it.

There is no better feeling in the world than when a student you are working with finds and pursues a passion they have attained.

If I can be an instrument in helping them attain their goals than true teaching is happening.

My Project

We have a dream of collaborating between Zoology and Human Anatomy to help students understand form and function of various things like development, suture joints, Zygomatic arches, Dental differentiation, and many other things that the two disciplines can cooperate and learn together.

What a better way to learn about the bite strength of a Grizzly Bear compared to a human and other animals than by comparing their skulls side by side.

Our goal is to further expand our collection of skulls to wolves and cougars, as well as herbivores too. Science should always be a hands on and a doing type class.
