About the store
I am currently in my 25th year of teaching. I currently teach college general biology and anatomy and physiology. In the past, I have taught Honors and Regular Biology, Advanced Placement Biology, International Baccalaureate Biology, Project Lead the Way - Principles of Biomedical Science and Human Body Systems, Science Fundamentals, Chemistry, Physics, Integrated Chem/Phys, Earth and Space Science, Environmental Science, and 7th and 8th grade science. Whoa!
My labs and activities have stood the test of time and just over 1000 students. I continually update my lessons to improve every lab, activity, and/or worksheet that I use in my classroom.
