Philosophy: My teaching philosophy is to instill in my students a deep joy for learning and an appreciation of the relevance science has to their lives.  I try to do this by capturing their abundant enthusiasm with frequent laboratory investigations, inquiry, and projects.  Letting my own unrestrained excitement show when I teach encourages students to see that science is both fun and gratifying!  The exhilaration is contagious!
