About the store
I have been in education for over 30 years. I started out teaching science to elementary school level students and continued this for over 10 years. I moved to middle school science and have continued my career teaching a blended science program as well as high school physical science to 8th graders. My career also includes mentoring new teachers, sharing best practices, leading groups of science teachers (as a department leader and as a professional learning committee leader), an academic science coach, and staff developer. I have a special interest in curriculum and instruction and was awarded my EdD in 2023. I am excited to have this opportunity to share what has worked and what is currently working to help my students achieve and become life long critical thinkers.

This is a great activity to see if student understand the organization of the Periodic Table. I made it simple compared to otheres out there. I have middle school students and this is a simple overview. The students get 'clues' to figure out where the elements go based on our 'rules'. Then the students must predict the missing element that has not been discoved and tell us about it as Mendeleev did. This inclues a direction sheet, a clue sheet, slips to 'turn in' the missing element, the workm

This is the spread sheet that goes along with my power point and Martian Periodic Table activity. The students use their knowldge of the organization of the periodic table (basic) to create a Martian Periodic Table based on 'clues'. Then they have to figure out which is the missing element (not discoved yet), identify it and give information about it. There is a bundle discount. This can also be downloaded and a Google Sheet can be created.

Thinking - Learning chart

Teaching today is concerned with monitoring children and their learning. This is a tool I developed to keep track of the children learning their goals. I ask the children to write their learning goal along the top. Then they read (on a separate paper) their daily learning objectives and vocabulary for the unit. On the left side, they are to brainstorm what they already know about the unit. After collecting, I can read through to see where they are, monitor their background knowledge and find

Teaching style

I believe students need to experience content and not memorize content. Students need to have experiences to build upon future experiences. The classroom should be a learning community where the students are active learners and teachers are coaching them, not instructing them. We experience life on a daily basis and that is what learning is about.
