teaches: Physical science; grade 8

experience: 8 years

Through this opportunity, I hope to bridge the connection of biological studies into my chemistry classroom. Our county has a wonderful agricultural industry, and I want students to be aware of job opportunities in these areas. I hope to introduce problem-based learning in my chemistry classroom so my students are engaged to seek solutions to issues. It is important for students to examine data and decide on the best course of action to maximize learning. They can learn important collaboration skills that they can take with them to the workforce.
