My Students

The school is a performing arts school in the heart of Manhattan! I teach Physical Setting/Chemistry course at an urban, inner-city performing arts high school. Every day, I strive to teach not only the required curriculum but the real-world connections and data needed to fully explain these science subjects to artistically inclined students. My goal is not just to have my students excel in the classroom but to develop into knowledgeable citizens ready to make an influential impact on the world.

Textbooks in chemistry classes are grossly outdated.

Students are artistically and musically talented, with wonderful and unique personalities. We contain a diverse population at our school, made up of all types of ethnicities, cultures, and learners. In order for students to completely understand complex, cutting edge information involving these topics, they need access to real-time data and research via the world wide web, etc.

My Project

My students can analyze the properties of metals and nonmetals through the melting blocks. Students will be analyzing two identical melting blocks and identify the better conductor of heat. One of the most common misconceptions is, warm objects will melt ice faster. However, students will learn that metal is a good conductor of heat compared to a nonmetal and will melt the ice faster.

Students can explore the properties of metals and nonmetals through hands-on activities.

Students will use magnetic boards to share their ideas as a group. They will provide feedback to each other and enhance their learning experience. We always need a brush, extension cords, and batteries in science labs. My students will be using their storage bins to keep the materials organized.
