Chemical Symbol vs Chemical Formula Sort
Good for practice or reinforcement of the differences between Chemical Symbols and Chemical Formulas. It should only take the students about 5-10 minutes to complete but it is a good reference for the teacher to check student understanding of the two. I usually have students complete this when they have finished the days lesson, or any day that is given to students to catch up on any missing work.

Teaching style
Learning doesn't have to come strictly from a book!!!
I love making Science relatable and engaging to all students by demonstrating how Science is used in our everyday lives. My lessons are designed for all levels of learners, from "Science is my best subject" to "Science is my worst subject".
I only require three things from my students:
1) Be honest
2) Be respectful to the learning environment
3) Effort
I hold my students very accountable for their education, which is why I always reward them with hands-on activities/experiments and the end of every unit. I also love to allow the students to illustrate and explain their learning by having them use their real-world experiences in their illustrations to reinforce that Science is a part of their everyday lives, while also reminding them that you cannot do Science without Reading, Writing, and Mathematics at a minimum
