Introduction

Hello friends!

So this semester, I am in a Teaching Science class. It's been interesting to say the least. I am one of the people who disliked science by the time I finished high school. This is unfortunate considering I've always wanted to be a pediatrician. After high school, I didn't think it could get any worse. My first two years of college proved me wrong though. I had one high school teacher that taught biology and anatomy. She was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, the teacher that taught chemistry wasn't so great. Every year, students went into her class and left just as confused about chemistry on the last day as they were on the first day. She obviously knew what she was talking about, but she could never manage to explain the content in a way that we could understand it. Of course, the college classes were no better. There were so many students in these classes there was NO way that any differentiated instruction could take place. It seemed like each science class left me with more and more unanswered questions. I am hoping I provide a completely opposite experience for my future students. I am so excited to begin my journey of teaching science. It will be a learning experience for not only the students, but me as well. I am determined to instill a love for science in my future students, and hopefully they'll be able to keep it throughout the years.

Sincerely,
Christina
