More than just memorizing facts and equations, science is about the process of learning. A critical step to learning is the act of doing, or directly engaging with the material. I lead students through the scientific process in my courses using observational-based projects, open-ended discussion questions, and examples where the "facts" have changed. My teaching goals are for students to be able to draw conclusions based on their observations, develop the skills they need to succeed in their future careers, and contemplate their place in our vast Universe.
