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 Data Bundle
This is a graphing and analyzing data bundle. This bundle currently contains 9 assignments through google docs and google slides that students are given data tables. They are sometimes expected to finish the data table and then format that data into a graph. Once the graphs are complete there are several analysis questions that follow. It's great practice for my students to reinforce data formatting, drawing conclusions, and supporting their claims with evidence.This is a Growing Bundle!There a

Graphing and Analyzing Genetics Phenotypic Data (Drosophila melanogaster)
This is a graphing assignment that gives students the opportunity to graph a data from four generations of breeding fruit flies in an attempt to breed two traits together. The two traits are wingless (apterous) and brown eyes. At the end of the assignment students are to figure out the mode of inheritance of the two genes. This works best when teaching genetics, students should know: Filial generation, inheritance, autosomal, sex-linked, recessive, dominant, phenotype, genotype.There are 4 a

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.
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.
