About the store

While my BS degree is in Medical Technology, I decided to enter the classroom after 9 years of working in the clinical laboratory. I have never regretted that decision! I have taught Biology (and other Life Sciences) and Chemistry for 6 years.

Dimensional Analysis Inquiry Activity

Created by

Scientastic

Students utilize Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to discover equalities and turn those equalities into conversion factors. A complete, introductory inquiry activity that allows students to discover dimensional analysis on their own. I use this activity to introduce the concept of dimensional analysis. Students have a blast with this activity and create background knowledge for the more complex conversions. Measurement skills with a balance, metric ruler, graduated cylinder, spring

Dimensional Analysis Practice

Created by

Scientastic

This worksheet will train students to work dimensional analysis (factor label method) conversions the same way every time. Students are required to fill in a chart that follows the steps to all conversion problems. The first problem is worked for them as an example, and I use this sheet after I have lectured and worked problems with them. This is an excellent homework activity or for individual practice.

Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style includes a great deal of interaction with the students. I am a kinesthetic learner, so I enjoy creating, planning and implementing laboratory activities and investigations. I love for students to dive in and investigate a question they have. I try to incorporate technology when I can and I love to see my students actually EXPERIENCE science. My students utilize color and creativity to express what they are learning in their Interactive Science Notebooks. I change things every year and know that I have so much left to learn!
