Educational Philosophy & What can you expect in Science this year?

I hope to inspire my students students, though inquiry and discovery, so that they develop their own passion for science. I believe all students can think and act as scientists.

This year students will conduct hands-on lab investigations aligned with the Amplify Science curriculum and will explore engaging phenomena to discover underlying science principles.
