About the store
I have been teaching middle school science for 31 years. I taught 6th grade science for 2 years and 7th grade science for 6 years and am currently teaching 8th grade science. I have 23 years of experience teaching 8th grade science. Preparing my students for the STAAR test requires teaching very abstract concepts. Giving students hands on experiences is the best way to prepare them for the constructive response questions on the test. Teaching science is my passion and I enjoy the hands on activities and relating it to real world.

Teachers have to keep documentation on file of all contacts and turn these in to their administrators and this is a great form to use for this purpose.
