I believe that many students today do not understand something unless they can see it with their own eyes. I want to be able to give my students opportunities to understand how our world works and take this knowledge into college and beyond. I am an AP Biology, Honors Biology, and Chemistry teacher from a large urban fringe school district. A large percentage of our students are on free or reduced lunch and often times funds are short at home as well as here in the classroom. I want to be able to give my students the world, but I only have the resources to give them a slice of it. This is where you come in! Please help my students open their eyes and understand the world of science! Thank you!
