: : : : Photo: About The Teacher Label: About The Teacher I have taught 7th Grade Science at Redwood Middle School for twelve years. I previously taught in Burbank and Pasadena. Before teaching middle school and high school I conducted research in genetics and neuroscience (primarily using fruit flies) and taught genetics and cell biology to college students. I became interested in science from my experiences outdoors, hiking and camping in the mountains, playing in the dirt in my backyard, and raising a variety of pets. When I was in middle school, my dream was to be a naturalist like John Muir. I still enjoy playing in the dirt! In the past few years, as my own children have become independent, I've started traveling with a volcano study group. Five summers ago I made a dream-come-true trip to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador! I've also been to Peru,Indonesia, Turkey, Greece and the Aeolian Islands. My husband and I have also started canoeing the Wilderness Waterways of the US. We've spent a week canoeing on the Green River in Utah, a hundred-mile stretch of the Missouri River in Montana, and,ninety-three miles of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in Maine. Three years ago I went with Mrs. Hinkle (7th grade White)and a group from FoTO (Friends of Tanzanian Orphans) to Olasiti,Tanzania where the group taught English, worked with host teachers, orphans and a women's co-op...a transforming experience! See the work of FoTO at http://www.tanzanianorphans.org/ :-) Mission Label: Mission We will focus on learning how to investigate as scientists, how to find answers for important questions and how to recognize when a question cannot be approached scientifically. You will continue to practice your skills in analysis, computing and communication. I hope you will develop a better appreciation for all the living things on Earth.
