About the store
I've spent over a decade teaching all levels of chemistry and physics- up to the AP curriculum! My goal is for classroom to be engaging, safe, inclusive, and inspiring for my students, and design lectures and practices that aim to be as concise as possible so I have time to focus on the hands-on labs, activities, and discussions that make science awesome. When I first started teaching AP Physics 2 especially, I was frustrated by the lack of resources available- so spent a couple of years honing, refining, and sharing my curriculum to get it to where it is today and be sharable!

Electromagnetism Activity Stations | Physics Lab | Magnets Electromagnet Motor
Do you want magnetism and electricity to be linked intuitively in your students brain? Do you not mind dedicating some prep time to create a kit that can be used year after year as one of your students favorite activity days? Here it is! This activity consists of eight 'activity' stations designed to have students explore magnetism and get introduced to the connections between electricity and magnetism. Included is the student handout (4 pages), station cards (8), blank station card template,

Edible Science Lab | Chemistry of Ice Cream | Quick Easy Prep
Zip file includes PDF and editable word document versions of my clear, concise, proven station directions and student handout with take-home 'procedure.' Also included is a simple, one-slide PowerPoint illustrating the science of the quick freezing baggie ice cream! I use this at the end of the year in all my chemistry classes, and have close to a 100% success rate. One of my main tips for doing this in bulk is to buy the "rock salt" at home depot- they sell bulk sodium chloride salt as water

AP Physics Lab | Is it Ohmic | Ohmic vs. Nonohmic Resistors | Editable
This lab was designed to be used in my AP Physics 2 curriculum. In this lab, students will test various circuit elements (resistors, LEDs, bulbs, etc.) to determine if that resistor is Ohmic (follows Ohm's Law) or non-ohmic. Students are given ample background information, then write their own procedures to test. Students are instructed to compare their results to other groups, and draw conclusions. Materials Required: variable power source, voltmeter/probe, ammeter/ current probe (or multimet

Teaching style
I try to limit my lectures in class and create curriculum that is interactive, concise, and effective. In this store, you will mostly find my AP Curriculum- the lecture notes, with plenty of student practice and discussions thrown in. To get a sense of my teaching style- and preview the lecture notes available- please check out my Youtube channel!
