My Project

Our environmental science school is a hidden gem in the greater Philadelphia area, where students have the opportunity to develop their individual potential to become environmentally conscious, productive, and successful in their chosen fields of study and careers through the lens of environmental science.

In my biology and environmental science classroom, it is my goal to show my students that they are scientists.

As students gain experience in fieldwork, they will need tape measures, thermometers, pipettes, and microscopes to model their findings. Through the use of these various resources, my students will practice and apply their acquired scientific skills and apply them to pass the keystone biology exam.
