After five years in the middle school science classroom, I created A Ray of Science to share the lessons, resources, and classroom tools I spent years developing and refining (with the help of some amazing content partners and mentors).

I was always looking for ways to make science click for students, make lessons easier to teach, and create classroom management systems that actually worked. Now, I'm bringing those ideas together in one place to help other science teachers spend less time reinventing the wheel and more time doing what they love—teaching science.
