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!

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!
