About the store
After completing my bachelors degrees in both Biology and Chemistry, I went on and completed my Masters in Education, with a specialization in science education. I was a public HS science teacher in both urban and rural schools for nearly 5 years in addition to serving as a the head instructor at a private institute for mentally and physically disabled children during my summers. I then left the public system and became an education specialist for the Federal Bureau of Prisons to further pursue my goals of helping those less fortunate and in great need of a strong education. I currently am in charge of coordinating all education programs as well as creating new curricula and counseling inmates on their education goals/aspirations. I went into education because I love helping others and want to share the wonderful world that science can be!

Abiotic vs Biotic Worksheet
This is a simple worksheet that requires students to label numerous, detailed images as either "abiotic" or "biotic". This is a great tool to use when discussing the difference between living and non-living.

Local vs. Global Environmental Issues Brain Storm Activity
This is a brainstorming activity which first requires students to brain storm a list of local environmental issues impacting their hometown region as well as a list of issues the know of impacting our planet globally. Once students finish individually brainstorming, they then team up to share their ideas and further build upon their lists. At the conclusion of the activity, students will share their lists with the class. Great activity to use when introducing environmental science in order to as

Introduction to Ecology Power Point
This is a power point presentation I created to introduce the basics of Ecology to students. It covers major terminology (biosphere, environment, ecology, natural resource, nonrenewable resources, renewable resource, pollution, extinction, and sustainability). This presentation discusses differences between develop and developing nations and also touches on the impact of the industrial revolution on the beginning of the scientific field. I utilize this power point as notes for my HS students.

Mythical Adaptations Lab
This is a paper based science lab which requires students to analyze the details of a fictional island called "Mythical Island" in order to create an animal or plant that is adapted to this harsh land. Students must draw a colored picture of their animal/plant on poster board and provide descriptions of how its anatomical features enable it to survive on "Mythical Island". This is a great lab that gives students creative freedom. Students are then encouraged to present their organisms to the cla

Environmental News Article Template
This is a great template for students to fill out when researching environmental issues currently in the news. It is broken up into sections (title of article, article location, article summary, and student response to the article). This helps students who may have reading/writing difficulty in organizing and presenting their thoughts. Students must find their own news article, complete this template, and then I always have the students share their findings the next day in class before turning t

Animal Adaptations Lab
This is a simple science lab which requires students to observe 5 preserved specimens and then record 4 anatomical features and how the student thinks that feature helps the organism survive in its environment. This lab gives the instructor the flexibility to use any preserved specimens that are available. This lab can be completed independently or in cooperative learning groups.

Adaptations Power Point
This power point provides information on how natural selection/evolution result in adaptation. This power point also covers co-evolution and extinction. This is a great tool to use when introducing adaptations and teaching students why organisms differ based on their environment. There are lots of vibrant images which help students better understand these often difficult topics to grasp. I use this power point as a tool to deliver notes to students on this topic before beginning labs/worksheets

Scientific Method and Experimental Design Power Point
This is a power point presentation I created to introduce what the scientific method is and how it is utilized to study science through experimentation. This particular power point is focused on utilizing the scientific method in an environmental science setting. Major terminology discussed: Scientific Method, Hypothesis, Experiment, Independent Variables, Dependent Variables, Control Group, Experimental Group, Qualitative Data, Quantitative Data, Pure Science, Applied Science.

Biotic Interactions Power Point
This power point is a great tool to utilize when delivering information to your students on biotic interactions of species across the globe. The interactions covered in this power point are predation, competition, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. Definitions of all interaction types are provided as well as numerous examples and visuals to better help students apply this information to the living world they see everyday.

Scientific Method Lab Using Pendulums
This is a hands-on science lab that enables students to practice using the scientific method. It can be completed as an individual assignment or in groups. This lab can be used in all science subject areas to introduce the scientific method. Students must design their own experiment based around studying the movements of a pendulum. This lab requires the student to develop their own hypothesis, experiment, and data collection methods. Students must then analyze and communicate their results. Thi

Teaching style
As a science educator, my teaching style focuses on hands-on learning and experimenting. I feel students learn the best when they get right into what I am teaching and can experience the information first hand through self discovery.
