Teaching High School Science

Since I am new to blogging, I am not fully aware of how to use this tool for my students and I am sure there are many others out there who are in the same boat. I am thinking about having my Environmental Science students doing journal entries similar to those in A Sand County Almanac as we read that book. I was also thinking about having them blog some research projects throughout the year. How have you all used this in your class. Not just in Science but other classes. Let us know what works and what does not. Thanks again.

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!!
