Science

As a freelancer, I've written a variety of materials for primary and middle school science programs, with an emphasis on earth science and life science. In addition, I developed and wrote a concise science process skills handbook that introduces middle school students to key process skills (e.g., observing, hypothesizing, experimenting, interpreting data, etc.) and provides them with hands-on activities to practice using those skills. I am familiar with the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards.
