About the store

I have taught for 10 years in a public school in the largest district in my state, focusing most of my time on 8th grade integrated science. I have worked summers at local science museums. I am the past president of my state's NSTA chapter. I coach an award-winning Science Olympiad team. I have coached an esports team as well as AVID classes. I have presented at a national NSTA conference, and I have earned countless distinguished teacher awards. Science education is my hobby as well as my career.

Game Changer - intro to Variables

Created by

Elsen Science

Introduce your students to EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN with a game. Science students struggle with INDEPENDENT and DEPENDENT VARIABLES. Why not use a basic game to help introduce and practice these concepts? And don't forget the very important rule to science: only change one thing at a time!

Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style has a foundation in Modeling Instruction (AMTA) where students approach and explore phenomena, then use dialogue circles to develop and adjust working models (I am a trained Modeling Instructor). Most of my lessons reflect a 5E approach and are NGSS-aligned. Some of my lessons are project based learning influenced heavily by Science Olympiad.
