I am a teacher of science at Traverse City East Junior High, Traverse City Michigan. I am responsible for formally bringing Research Based Science Education, RBSE, to Traverse City Schools. I have also developed two students trips, The Science and History Discovery Trip (1st year 1996) and the Tucson Astronomy Camp Trip (1st year 2002). Both trips are for six days and involve twenty students each. If you are a teacher and have an idea that will be good for kids, follow it through and make it happen. I DID - YOU CAN. I am also a field test teacher for the SETI Institute high school curriculum Voyage Through Time, VTT. Check out these activities through their respective links below.
