About the store
I am a fifth year science teacher with experience in biology, chemistry, physics, and marine biology. This year, I am teaching Chemistry in the Earth System and Marine Science with CTE credit.
Prior to coming to the PNW, I taught in Palo Alto, CA and Naperville, IL.
Currently, I am involved in my school district Science Advisory putting together resources, learning objectives, and unit outlines to be utilized across the district. Additionally, I work at my district and school site to create social emotional learning resources and trainings for my school.

Superhero Genetics Project
This activity has been a class favorite for many years as students get an opportunity to create their own Superhero(or villain) with the use of genotypes, Punnett Squares, and probability. Students will determine the phenotypes and genotypes of their parent heroes, create Punnett Squares, and then flip a coin to determine which trait the offspring ultimately ends up with. Students will use traits that are traditional mandelian, codominant, incomplete dominance, sex-linked, and will even determin

Density and Earth's Layers Inquiry - Guided Practice
In this High School Earth Science Guided Inquiry activity, students will explore density as it relates to the layers of Earth’s interior. By looking at particles diagrams, students will visualize how particle concentration in a fixed space affects the density of a substance. Students will then explore the relationship between pressure and temperature as it relates to particle movement and change in density. This will be an introduction to convection which will be reviewed in later activities. T

Homeostasis Ice Experiment
In this high school biology experiment students will investigate how our bodies maintain homeostasis in the attempt to resist change by both combating stressors and eventually moving into survival mode for the protection of vital organs. Students can complete this lab in the classroom or in a virtual classroom from home. Students will hypothesis on how bodies react to hypothermia, collect data, evaluate evidence, draw conclusions and use research to solidify understanding. This activity can be

Exercise and Cellular Respiration Lab - REMOTE OR IN-PERSON LAB EXPERIENCE
In this high school biology experiment students will investigate how our bodies heart rate and breathing rate change based on the need for cellular respiration to take place. In the lab students will track their breathing and heart rate after different lengths of time spent exercising. By sharing class data, students will be able to graphically analyze the class data to build these connections. This is a great introductory activity for students to track the cycling of carbon through Earth’s Sphe

Analyzing Atmospheric Carbon Data - Graphical Analysis Guided Inquiry
This activity helps high school science students analyze Carbon Dioxide data from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, an atmospheric baseline station of the Global Monitoring Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In the analysis of this data, students will identify reasons for the peaks and valleys in CO2 levels, compare current CO2 levels to CO2 levels found in ice cores, and explain the connection between carbon emissions and atmospheric carbon.

States of Matter PHeT Inquiry Activity
This inquiry activity has students utilizing the States of Matter PHeT to explore the differences in the three states of matter by comparing the behavior of Oxygen and Water molecules at the molecular level. Students will make observations as to what happens during the heating and cooling of a sample of oxygen and water. After collecting data, students will create a model of the behavior of water in the three states of matter. In the analysis section students will discuss the importance of the u

Convection and Recycling Crust Inquiry - Guided Notes & Practice
In this High School Earth Science five part Guided Inquiry activity, students will explore convection in Earth’s interior with the use of a lava lamp as a visual representation for the driving force of tectonic plate movement. As students work through this guide, students will look at convection, Subduction Zones, Divergent Boundaries, Pressure, Density, and Temperature as a means to explain the recycling of oceanic crust via convection. With a variety of visuals and scaffolding, students will b

Rate of Photosynthesis Lab Investigation - CER Lab Analysis
In this experiment students will determine if the rate of photosynthesis is impacted by the amount of Carbon dioxide and Light Intensity by using spinach and water displacement to collect data on the amount of oxygen produced in a set amount of time. Students will use a control to compare their results of increased carbon dioxide, increased light intensity, and decreased light intensity. After data collection, students will share their results with the class to produce a graph on the average of

Particle Diagram Guided Notes
Production of a model is a key component of NGSS and with the use of Particle Diagrams there are a variety of ways to express different processes and concepts. With this guided inquiry, students will complete guided notes that walk them through different examples on how to express information such as change in volume, temperature, pressure, density, and more. Students can keep these notes as a reference to use when they need to produce a visualization of a process. This activity can be used as

Water Transfers Energy
High school students can explore the properties of water as a constructive and destructive property which has shaped the physical features of the Earth by working through a PhET simulation on the properties of waves and energy. Students will produce a visual representation of the transfer of energy in the movement of water. Looking at a natural example of these forces of water, students will identify how water has an impact on the natural landscape. This activity can be used as a TpT Virtual Ac

Properties of Water Station Lab
This is a high school lab in which students will work through different lab stanchions in order to learn about the three properties of water; heat capacity, density, and polar nature. Each station has instructional information about the properties that students will use to learn about the properties and how they apply to Earth’s Processes. As students work through the six stations there will be opportunities for them to look at adhesion, cohesion, surface tension, and density of water. This is

Experience
I am a fifth year science teacher with experience in biology, chemistry, physics, and marine biology. This year, I am teaching Chemistry in the Earth System and Marine Science with CTE credit.
Prior to coming to the PNW, I taught in Palo Alto, CA and Naperville, IL.
Currently, I am involved in my school district Science Advisory putting together resources, learning objectives, and unit outlines to be utilized across the district. Additionally, I work at my district and school site to create social emotional learning resources and trainings for my school.
Teaching style
My teaching style focuses on connecting students to the world around them with inquiry based learning. Straying away from direct instruction, I hope to help guide students in exploration to come to their own understanding of the materials.
My own education history
I have a BS of Chemistry Education with an endorsement in Biology and Physics and a MA in Earth Science Education.
Additional biographical information
My Chemistry and Biology sources incorporate Earth Science topics and/or Relateable Phenomena as a way to connect students to the world around them.
I suggest looking at my Year Long Standards Outline for both my Chemistry and Biology courses to see how I mix and match Earth Science NGSS with my two core classes.
