Teaching High School Science

Well, now that we are half way through the year I am finally getting around to posting something again.  We have finals here before we leave for winter break.  It is great because we get rid of the do nothing right before break and the do nothing and reviewing right after break and right before finals.  I think we have added several more productive days by doing finals before break.  Not to mention the fact that the students do not have to worry about remebering and studying over break.

Welcome to my new blog. I am very new to the world of blogging, But I think I can get the hang of it. I have been teaching high school science classes in the Chicago land area since 1994. I have taught many Science classes including Physics (independent study), Ecology, Biology, ESL Biology (now it would be ELL), Physical Science, Chemistry, and AP Chemistry. I have also taught at Biology classes in a few Local Community Colleges. I am currently looking forward to a new class I have started at my high school Environmental Science.

While doing research for my new class (along with my old ones) I have found some resources but they are scattered all over the internet. I am hoping to build a community of science teacher to share their lessons, ideas, frustrations, thoughts, worksheets, labs, and what ever else so we can all be better teachers. I would like to put together information in categories and get it nicely organized, but I need your help. If you have any ideas or anything you would like to contribute please let me know. Thanks and happy bogging to all!!
