Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings,
My name is Kelly and I've been a science teacher for over 20 years.
I have B.A. in Education and a Masters Degree in science education.
Although the bulk of my experience has been middle school, I've taught from Kindergarten through 9th grade.
I've enjoyed teaching the following disciplines:
physics, chemistry, biology, environmental, geology, Earth and astronomy.
I teach one time classes, weekly classes, private classes for tutoring and also teach private playdates/parties with a topic of interest.
Here are some topics I teach:
Genetics and Heredity
Atomic Structure
Physics of Roller Coasters
Bridge Building
The Science of Bubbles
Kitchen Chemistry
Human Body Systems
Climate Change
Scientific Method
My philosophy:
Science is learned best by doing!
Science is constantly evolving and there are new, exciting discoveries every day.
Working together is always key and asking questions, making inferences and developing your hypothesis makes you a scientist!
About me:
I love hanging out with my daughter, going on hikes and practicing yoga!
I look forward to seeing you in science class!
Take care,
Kelly
