6th Science

Science is an exciting subject because it helps us understand the world around us—from the tiniest particles to the vastness of space. What makes science even more engaging is hands-on learning. Through experiments, investigations, and real-world applications, students don't just read about scientific concepts—they experience them. This active approach sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and makes learning both meaningful and fun.

I have been teaching science for nearly 20 years. Although I began my career in high school education, I have spent the past decade teaching middle school students.
I believe the most effective way to learn science is through hands-on experiences. I strive to make content meaningful by incorporating activities, investigations, and discussions that connect science to everyday life.
