Another exciting day at NSTA …
Flinn Scientific is awesome! I walked away with a ton of new demonstrations for physics & chemistry. The Morning of Chemistry session with Patti Duncan was absolutely fabulous! My favorite demo was the one where Patti asked a volunteer to sit in a garbage bag while she closed [...]

Wow! Check out the crowd.

My students volunteers are da bomb! I am so [...]
