Profile Information

School board: SD36

How did you hear about the BC Science Interactions community?: Edvantage Press Conference

I've been teaching since...: 1995

Which science subjects do you teach?: Senior Chemistry & Biology
Junior Science

Which social networks do you belong to?: Facebook

What is your favourite thing about teaching science?: encouraging students to think and problem solve through experimentation and inquiry

The best advice I'd give a new science teacher would be...: Don't "spoon feed" students. They need to be actively engaged in developing the big ideas and writing their own notes, using their own words. Careful when using digital projectors during the lesson, they can create a passive learning environment where students are simply copying large amounts of text. Keep the "science" in science....demos, demos, demos!!
