About the store
I've been teaching middle school physical science since 2004. In our class, we cover the basic concepts of physics and chemistry. These concepts are great baseline or refresher information for high school physical science, chemistry, and physics.

Creating a Multiple Line Graph Worksheet
In this worksheet, students are given a data table containing two "like" sets of data (height of boys and girls, vs age). Students are asked to graph this data on a single line graph, then interpret the data, to answer a few simple questions. There is also an answer key included.

Creating Graphs Worksheet
In this worksheet, students are tasked with interpreting a multiple line graph, and answering a variety of questions about it.
They are also asked to demonstrate a knowledge graphing formulas to set up the X-Y axes (see my other worksheets, videos).
At the end of the worksheet, they are given two data tables, and asked to create line graphs from them.

Collecting Information and Making Inferences from a Non-Standard Data Source
In this worksheet, students are asked to collect information, make comparisons, and draw inferences from a non-standard data set. Rather than a data table or graph, the data is in a visual graphic.
The data revolves around the consumption of a variety of products in the US, vs the world average.
This would work equally well in a math, science, SS, or LA class, as it involves analyzing data, as well as looking at world issues.

Experience
I've been teaching middle school physical science since 2004. In our class, we cover the basic concepts of physics and chemistry. These concepts are great baseline or refresher information for high school physical science, chemistry, and physics.
Teaching style
I implement a wide variety of styles into my lessons, ranging from direct instruction to hands-on labs. I believe that allowing students to experience the science in different ways allows them to better learn the material.
<p>
While the rigor in the classroom is high, I include as much humor and life connections as I can, which greatly increases student engagement.

Awards & shining teacher moments
Really, the greatest honor I receive from my profession is getting the students to push themselves through the "I don't get it" stage, to the point where their face lights up, they say (usually shout) "I get it now!", and they're up, helping other kids figure it out.

Additional biographical information
In addition to teaching, and spending time with my family, I enjoy mountain biking, running, and working with computers.

From high school graduation, until I got married (ten years), I worked during my summers as an engine operator, and squad boss for the US Forest Service, fighting wildfires throughout the Western U.S. My days of doing that are over now, but I have molded that love for fire into a fun elective class, where I teach my students the basics of wildland firefighting.</p>
