My Project

My goal as a science teacher is to make biology fun. Knowing the complexity of the topic, this can be difficult, especially for ninth graders who are easily distracted.

This project is meant to support their development by giving them hands-on learning opportunities for difficult topics, bringing science into their hands.

If you ever felt like science was difficult or boring for you, I'm sure you can see the benefit in helping future scientists avoid that. These resources will help learning stay interactive and fun. Thank you for your time!
