STEM

Science in my classroom is an active, inquiry-based experience grounded in curiosity and real-world exploration. I design units around big, thought-provoking questions that encourage students to wonder, investigate, and make sense of the world around them. Hands-on experiments help students collect and analyze data, explain natural phenomena, and develop new questions, fostering a mindset of continuous discovery.

I incorporate resources from Amplify Science and Mystery Science to create engaging, standards-aligned lessons that are accessible and meaningful for all learners. These programs support my commitment to culturally responsive and evidence-based instruction.

Our school garden acts as a living laboratory where students apply scientific thinking through observation, inquiry, and experimentation. Whether studying plant life cycles, weather patterns, or ecosystems, students gain a deeper understanding of science by interacting directly with nature—connecting classroom learning to the environment around them.
