My classrooom mission is to provide students with the opportunity to use
scientific inquiry in the classroom to examine, analyze, and evaluate aspects
of the natural world in accordance with state and national science
standards.
Students will employ sound scientific principles as a means to accomplish
this mission. Development of student analytical, logical/deductive, and
crtical thinking skills are the driving goals of my classes.
Life science classes will stress development of students' ability to design,
implement, and evaluate investigations which test basic rules by which living
things function.
Physical science classes will focus primarily critical analyses of the full
range of non-living natural phenomena. Courses include data gathering,
analysis, and interpretation.
