About the store

Experience

I've taught high school science for over 20 years. My bachelor's and master's degrees are in physics and I am a National Board Certified Teacher.

I've already started working with drafts of Next Generation Science Standards and I'm looking forward to using them in their final form.

My own education history

I earned a B.S. in Physics from Iowa State University and a M.S. in Physics from Western Illinois University. I continue to learn every day, especially from my students as they challenge me with good questions and new points of view.
