Sheep Heart Dissection: Circulatory System Laboratory Activity Science Anatomy
Your students will love this two-part dissection activity that gives them hands-on interaction with the heart. Part one of the lab focuses on the external anatomy and then in part two the students cut the heart open to reveal the valves and chambers. Students will trace the path of a probe to see how the blood vessels connect to the heart chambers. They will see the septum, coronary blood vessels, valves, and layer of fat covering the heart. Along the way, critical thinking questions will guide

Create a Critter: Camouflage Mimicry Adaptations Science Project Activity Game
This is one of my students' favorite projects of the year! Students will go outside and collect an assortment of natural materials and then use those materials to create their own mythical "critter" that displays mimicry or camouflage. Then, students will divide into groups and play a game of hide and seek to see how well their critters blend in and avoid being found. The activity is broken down into two parts; usually this will require 2-3 class periods. Part I involves collecting materials and

Experience

I love bringing science to life, and making learning fun and meaningful. I am so happy to be able to use this platform to share activities that my students have loved over the years. Thank you for your business!
Teaching style
I am passionate about hands-on learning and making science engaging. My materials incorporated game-based learning, modeling, projects, and kinesthetic activities. My students and their parents have consistently commended me on developing my students love for science by making class so much fun.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Recent achievements include mentoring a team of two 6th grade students who won first place in an international STEM competition against nearly 300 other teams. Their achievement won them a $1000 prize and also a donation to the school. I also mentored 7th grade students in a regional bridge-building competition, and we earned 3rd place, competing among 50 or teams. My shining teacher moments are when students come to class excited about what we are learning, and when they share how much they enjoy science. That is my goal!
My own education history
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Anthropology-Zoology and a Teacher's Certification in Biology and Chemistry. I went on to complete a M.Ed. in Educational Technology from Indiana University.
