Welcome to Middle School Science! I have been teaching in a middle school science classroom for 6 years - these notes, activites, labs, and other materials are all things I use in my classroom, and have made to increase student understanding. I update things as I use them to enhance them or make them more current. Thank you for supporting my love for creating science and classroom materials!

Students use a crime to gather evidence and practice their CER skills.

Teaching style

Most of the things you'll find in my TPT store are meant to be used in a hands on classroom - I prefer to DO science vs read about science. I utilize note sets as ways for students to review things we've done or talked about in class, with the occasional webquest thrown in. Most of my resources are do adhere to a strict process; they're meant to be adapted and used as you see fit for your classroom and personal pedagogy.

My own education history

I have worked in both a high school setting and middle school setting (but predominantly middle school). I graduated from Whitworth University, and have taught in Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
