Nova Nest Science

Hi! I’m a science educator with 15 years of classroom experience and 2 years as an instructional coach, and I believe that powerful learning happens when students are the ones doing the thinking, talking, and leading. My passion lies in designing lessons that spark curiosity, build confidence, and invite all students to engage deeply with science—no matter their background or ability. In this store, you’ll find TEKS-aligned resources, especially for 6th grade science, with more 7th and 8th grade content added as I create it. My lessons emphasize student discourse, data literacy, and movement-based learning—because I know students need to get up, talk with one another, and wrestle with big ideas together. I love using random grouping to build unexpected connections and help students develop a strong sense of classroom community and belonging. You'll find supports for all learners, including newcomers, students with special needs, and Gifted students. Whether it's a discussion routine, a data-rich station, or a tool to help students reflect and revise, everything I create is meant to make your science class more purposeful, student-driven, and joyful. Thanks for visiting—I hope you find something here that makes planning easier and student learning deeper!
