About the store
I have taught at the high school level for 9 years now. I have experience teaching a variety of sciences, including: Forensic science, Anatomy and Physiology, Physical and Earth Science, Physics and Engineering, Earth and Space, Biology, and Physical Science.
In addition to teaching at the high school level I was also a tutor for 2.5 years. In that time I taught both ACT and SAT prep courses, general homework help. In addition to these programs I was also leading literacy, math, and science programs at varying academic levels. I also helped pilot a preschool program that taught phonics and early reading skills for children before entering pre school.
For the last 2 years I have also been one of the key writers of curriculum for a school district that is piloting Competency Based Education.

Graphing and Analyzing Oxygen Production Data (Photosynthesis from Elodea)
This is a graphing assignment that gives students the opportunity to graph a data table oxygen bubbles produced by elodea. Students are given a data table of three trials of counting oxygen bubbles produced by elodea at different heights of a lamp. I typically use this assignment to supplement photosynthesis (a in person lab). There are 4 analysis questions that follow the graphing. It can be done in person with graph paper, as well as distant learning, it is a google doc. A link is also prov

Graphing and Analyzing Cell Growth Data (Cancer Cells v Normal Cells)
This is a graphing assignment that gives students the opportunity to graph a data table of epithelial cell growth. Students are given a data table of cell growth rate of a sample taken from a mass, and cells not from a mass. I typically use this assignment to go teach diseases in cell division (cancer). There are 4 analysis questions that follow the graphing. It can be done in person with graph paper, as well as distant learning, it is a google doc. A link is also provided with instructions on

Teaching style
Learning through discovery is the name of the game when it comes to using scientific practices. I use the NGSS practices to format my materials. The last two years I have used student led inquiry and interdisciplinary styles. I have also been trained using Kagan structures within the classroom.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was nominated NHSS teacher of the year 2024.
My own education history
I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in Science Education with a Biology Concentration. With this degree I am qualified to teach almost any science, but only able to teach AP in Biology.
Additional biographical information
I am a mom of 2 younglings who is full of energy and give me a run for my money on a daily basis. Little do they know, I deal with 30 teenagers every hour on the hour on a daily basis.
