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.

Stoichiometry Bundle
This is a self-paced inquiry lesson sequence to stoichiometry that requires no direct instruction. Students are provided with snippets of notes throughout the inquiry to solidify understanding as they work through the material. Beginning with the basics, students will learning about the mole and molar mass before diving into conversion factors and conversions between a single substance. Then they will look at mole to mole ratios. Lastly, students will work through Stoichiometry problems and Limi

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

Radiometric Dating Graphical Analysis
This activity introduces students to reading half-life tables for information and using deductive reasoning to determine the radioactive isotope that would be used to absolute age date different samples. By comparing the percentage of parent and daughter isotopes in a sample, students will determine how many half-lives have passed to determine the age of a sample. This would be best used as a pre-assignment prior to a lesson or as a homework assignment after a lesson. This product comes with a

Plastic Ocean Advocacy Project - Human Impact Project
This project was completed after watching A Plastic Ocean in my Marine Biology course. While it is not a requirement to complete this project, I would highly recommend taking the time for your students to understand the magnitude of the plastic pollution in our oceans. The project includes multiple project options for students to create a human impact/outreach project based on A Plastic Ocean. The options on this project are listed below with an additional “choice” option. Students will create

Le Chatelier's Principle Worksheet
In this worksheet, students will make predictions about how stress on a system at dynamic equilibrium will change the concentrations of products and reactants. This activity focuses on ocean acidification as students examine the process in which Carbon dioxide is dissolved in ocean water and eventually dissolving calcium carbonate. This is a three part activity that focuses on concentration and temperature as a stressor on the system. This product comes with an answer key! Other Activities Inv

Specific Heat and Climate Inquiry Activity
This high school chemistry inquiry activity walks students through a theoretical calorimeter lab in which they need to make a connection between specific heat and the weather experienced in different areas based on the surrounding materials. This introduces students to the idea of the important role our oceans play in our Earth's Systems and the importance of water's high specific heat value. This would be great as a homework assignment or during a shortened class period. This also gives you som

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.

Chemical Equilibrium Inquiry - Guided Notes & Practice
In this Chemistry Inquiry Lab, students will visualize how equilibrium is reached between products and reactants with the use of malleable and producing a graph of the collected results. In looking at how equilibrium of carbon dioxide is reached between our ocean surface and atmosphere, students analyze the forward and reverse equation of carbon dioxide and water to produce carbonic acid. This puts the process in perspective and leaves room to interpret how increased carbon dioxide gas in our at

Introduction to Isotopes and Decay - PHeT & Discovery Ed Video Notes
In this three part inquiry lesson, students will utilize the Build an Atom PHeT and Discovery Education Videos to gain an introductory understanding of stable and unstable atoms, radioactive decay, and half-life. The two videos students will watch, take notes on, and answer questions about are, “Observing Radioactive Decay” and “Half-Life Decay”. Students will use tools such as tables and diagrams to graph half-life and explain the types of radioactive decay. By using visual models, students wil

Periodic Trends Graphing Exploration
In this three part graphing exploration students will be analyzing the atomic radius and electronegativity of the elements in the 1st Group and 2nd Period. Students will create four graphs, Electronegativity/Atomic Radius vs. Atomic Number for both the Group and the Period. In doing so, students will make deductions about the general trends of electronegativity and atomic radius and identify the resultant vector for the trend. Upon identifying the trends and resultant vector, students will put t

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.
