Experience
I have a masters degree in Secondary Ed with a concentration in Biology. I have 22 years of classroom experience teaching biology, physical science, physics, introductory engineering and environmental science. I have built catapults, hovercraft, an inflatable whale, a 14 man cardboard boat, and polished mirrors for a real satellite.

I don't really like textbooks too much and so prefer to make my own class notes, labs, activity sheets, and tests.
Awards & shining teacher moments
2 student awarded yearbook dedications, numerous certificates of achievement by our school board, newspaper and magazine articles, three 1st place finishes for our Catapult Club which I sponsor, and an unofficial world record for sailing our cardboard boat a mile.
