“Many of my students intend to go into STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers. They are excited about Physics! I do my best to create engaging, hands-on experiences that will teach the CA standards, while preparing students with critical writing, math and analytical skills they will need in college.” - Ms. R, California
