Quest- Escape the Golem! An Avg. Speed & Position versus Time Graphing Activity!
Your students have awoken a mighty stone Golem in the game world of Aureus Imperium and Einstein fears he is not fast enough to escape it! Your students will collect position and time data from the Golem and an ally who volunteers to help distract the creature before it crushes them! From this data, the groups of students will create position versus time graphs and calculate the average speed of the volunteer and the Golem. From this information they will be able to determine if Einstein has the

Quest- The Slender Strangers, A Graphing and Scatter Plot Activity
Over 25 sold! Have your students create scatterplots to discover the correlation between height and wingspan! Do your students need help collecting data and making scatter plots in an engaging way? I present the quest of the Slender Strangers! In this activity, students are challenged by using a meter stick to determine if human wingspan is related to height. They then use this data to construct a scatter plot to determine if there is a relationship of not. In the game story setting, student g

Quest- Da Vinci and His Fiery Wheels! A Position v. Time Graph Lab Activity!
Your students have been summoned by Lord Da Vinci to inspect his newest invention in the game world of Aureus Imperium. Da Vinci has created some automobiles that have very "hot wheels" and your students have been tasked to use them to study motion. Your class will work in groups to determine how changing a track's ramp height impacts its movement. Using toy cars, track, textbooks, clay, a stopwatch, and a meter stick, they will calculate average speed / average velocity and build position vers

Teaching style
For the last seven years I have created and implemented a Game-Based design approach to 8th grade general science. In addition to this, I have utilized Universal Design protocols and have incorporated aspects of the Flipped Classroom as well. My approach to education focuses on kinesthetic learners with project-based approaches. Underlying PBIS initiatives have been employed in my classroom as a companion to my teaching style.
