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!

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 | Internal Resistance of a Battery | Demonstration | Editable
This lab, designed for my AP Physics 2 students, guides students through two methods to determine the internal resistance of a battery. I typically do this lab as a demonstration to save time, but could also easily be completed by students independently if they have the proper lab equipment. In Part 1, students measure the emf of the battery when not connected in a circuit, then measure the terminal voltage under various resistances- seeing it be lower when there's more current.
