My philosophy of science education is a simple one. Science IS exciting, challenging, thought provoking, and fun. Science impacts our lives every day. My methods of teaching science reflect these principles.

Science is asking questions, determining how to collect information to answer those questions, getting your hands dirty working out the procedures, analyzing the information you get, and thinking about what you discover. Does it answer your question? Can others follow your procedures and come up with the same answer? Do other scientists find other information that supports your idea?

Everyone in my classroom is a working scientist. I rarely lecture, but I ask a lot of questions. We’ll explore the world around us together.

And I welcome parents to be actively involved.
