Thank You Vernier!


At the SSP Fellows Institute in Washington D.C. each Fellow was given a Vernier LabQuest Interface and several probes to take back to our classroom! Awesome! Thank you David Vernier!

Support this generous company that is supporting my students.

Thank you also NCSSSMST for arranging this! :)

Geronimole :)


Going through pictures from my last experience of teaching at Mescalero and I came across of this photo of "Geronimole" by Charli- Class of 2008. One of my personal favorite "Moles".

Do pillbugs like potato chips?

Are they talking about pillbugs or teachers?


Pillbug experimentation apparatus.



As part of the SSP Fellowship Institute in Washington D.C. we experimented with pillbugs (aka rolly polly). Our group decided to experiment with pillbug snack preferences. We were surprised to find that pillbugs are Lays BBQ flavor fans.
