About the store
We're a "couple" of Science nuts.. a Biology teacher (Amanda) and a Physics teacher (Tony) with 18 and 30 years of experience, respectively. We love traveling, learning, teaching, and adventuring through this crazy teacher-life together. We've bought and used lots of amazing TPT resources from phenomenal teachers (maybe even you!), and we're hoping to share some of our best lessons with you, too! We're brand new to selling on TPT- so this is a new experiment for us! Thanks for checking out our profile!
