Hello all. As always I am excited about this years Science class and teaching your students! I have been teaching at Waynesville Middle for 9 years now and came from an Archaeology and Cultural Heritage background. I love to travel, hike, camp, cook, garden, and read. Most of all I REALLY love science!!!

There have always been women in science. Whether recognized at the time or not, women interested in science and engineering have made important discoveries, conducted game-changing research, and pursued careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Uncovering and sharing these stories and encouraging girls to see themselves as future scientists is important, ongoing work for science educators.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the fullness of African American history and culture, but that cannot be contained in one month alone. Join us, the world's largest African American museum, to humanize history and objects through the lives, tragedies and triumphs of everyday people—while paying tribute to Black pioneers' trailblazing contributions.
Here is where you will be able to access everything.
Links, informational documents, and anything else we need to communicate!!
The goal of this page is to help you with resources to complete assignments and to provide you with sources if you find yourself more interested in a particular topic that you may want to explore more. I also will provide links to local and regional organizations and resources when you wish to learn more.
"Educational equity can be defined as beliefs, actions, and policies that enable all students to have access to and participate in quality learning environments and experience successful outcomes."
"The fundamental belief driving the pursuit of educational equity is that all students can succeed under the right conditions. When discussing historically underserved students, we are talking about those students who have been underserved by their schools—and the overall public educational system--due to a variety of social factors. These social factors can include one or more of the following identifiers: race, gender, gender identity, class, ability, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, and native language."
(Equity Digest, The Fundamentals of Educational Equity, April 2019)
The Nature’s 10 list explores key developments in science this year and some of the people who played important parts in these milestones. Along with their colleagues, these individuals helped to make amazing discoveries and brought attention to crucial issues. Nature’s 10 is not an award or a ranking. The selection is compiled by Nature’s editors to highlight key events in science through the compelling stories of those involved.
2020 has been a year like no other. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed science to the forefront and dominated lives. But the year also produced fresh images unrelated to the virus. From wafer-thin solar cells to gene-edited squid, here are the striking shots from science that caught the eye of Nature’s news and art team.
The rest of the science world upended our lives, too, in good ways and bad. Jaw-dropping images from space kept our eyes looking upward, and discoveries about our ancient past kept our interests back on Earth. Natural disasters left deadly scars, and a new outbreak left us worried about what diseases awaited us on the horizon.
