No Prep Superheroes and the States of Matter
This is a fun, no prep project for students involving watching the movie, The Incredibles and then relating their superpowers to the states of matter (and how they defy the states of matter). Other parts of this project include students making their own superhero, a comic strip, and a story to go along with their superhero. It is a great way to incorporate writing into the science classroom, as well. This project could be modified to work with upper elementary/middle school or require more in

No Prep 5 Paragraph Essay w/ Conflict using the movie Jingle All the Way
This is a No Prep language arts project that explores the literary element of Conflict using the movie Jingle All the Way. It is a great holiday project to do in December. After learning about conflict, students write a 5 paragraph essay on the conflict found in the movie Jingle All the Way. I usually use this after completing a similar assignment using the novel Hatchet by Gary Paulsen (see Hatchet Conflict Project). You could make this work for a full week or stretch it out to 2+ weeks.

Teaching style
I vary my teaching style in order to meet the needs of all students. In my classroom. I utalize a lot of hands-on, creative, laboratory style activities. Anything new and/or different to get kids excited about learning and engaged in the activity is what I look for in a good lesson.

Additional biographical information
I live in rural Wyoming where I love to spend my time with my family outdoors. I love gardening and also spend a lot of time at the rodeo. My favorite event to compete in is Team Roping. My kids are Pee-Wee Rodeo'ers and I have a blast watching them run barrels, pole bending, goat tail tying, and dummy roping. When I'm not teaching, in the garden, or at a rodeo I can usually be found on the mountain, where I like to hike and fish. I have a passion for teaching kiddos of all ages and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE science. I hope I can share my excitement for teaching with you through my products.
