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.

Cellular Respiration, Photosynthesis, & Law of Conservation of Matter Activity is a hands on way for students to understand and visualize the concepts. It converts a difficult concept for students into an easy eye opening experience. This activity is NOT a one day activity, rather it is a 2 day activity. I use it AFTER I teach the concepts. There is a bit of teacher prep the first time you set it up (you have to print all the atom cards, cut them out, and sort them into groups). Once you set i

Science Lab Team/Group Emoji Role Cards and Bullentin Board Title

Created by
Dr Sci Gal
These are a great management tool for science lab activities. Works for a group of 4 or 6 (but 2 children are 'off duty'). Theme is 'Emoji' since my classroom is 100% digital, but the Emoji can work for any classroom. Each activity the students pick a card and that is their responsibility for that period. OR The teacher can assign jobs for that period or time period. You can also print a second copy and hang as a bulletin board with title card attached.

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.
