About
Background:
I have taught middle school science since 1987. I have also taught Science Methods to student teachers at my local community college. Furniture-making is a hobby of mine, and my workshop gives me the tools to create all kinds of scientific apparatus. My wife, son, and friends are often guinea pigs for my projects.
A Website is Born!
In 2011, I was considering creating my own website. Matt, a student of mine, exclaimed that my classroom was like the "Stithsonian Institute"! A great play on words.
Mission Statement:
The goal of Stithsonian Science is to share my love of science with students, teachers, families--actually ANYONE interested in science. The science of everyday life--things often overlooked--is one focus of mine.
