I want to empower students to be academically successful in science by providing an active learning community where they can practice reasoning, questioning, and collaboration in a supportive atmosphere. All of my science classes are laid on a foundation of the nature and practices of science. Students will be given the tools to collect and analyze data (evidence) to construct explanations and mathematical, graphical, physical and verbal models. They will productively participate in scientific discourse and communicate their knowledge. They will find the patterns and parallels between difference science fields. They will be able to apply what they learn and understand from these classes to their daily lives.
