Lab: Science Inquiry and KNex Landers KIOSK
In 2008, the entire 11th grade class of Mainland high school ran a lab to determine the ideal shape for a hypothetical mail delivery device called a, "KNex Lander". The original design (made of KNex... of course) was created by a pair of Embry Riddel engineering students. Students tested the design, then they tested a litany of improvements on that design.

Teaching style
I was educated as a scientist. I fell into teaching when the incompatibility of studying black bears for months on end in the Everglades and a successful marriage hit me.
I (correctly) chose the wife...
So my students "do" stuff instead of listening to me.
When they have to read, I make sure it's something worth reading.
When they have to write, I make sure they know it's worth writing...
When they sit in front of a computer, they're going to be entertained AND educated.
Never did get the hang of "busy work".
Awards & shining teacher moments
Nearly 40 years of teaching a myriad of amazing students!
Everything else is noise.

Additional biographical information
I've taught every grade from 6-12.
I've taught (almost) every science subject the state of Florida offers.
I've taught in Tampa, Miami, Panama City, Pierson, Daytona Beach, and Ormond Beach... 15 schools. I guess I can't hold a job down.
