Introduce yourself!

Tell us a little about yourself - what and where do you teach, why the InSECT Project interests you ... and anything else you'd like to share!

You can find out about the InSECT Project team here.

Hey NSTA folks! I am Elizabeth Zodda and I hope to meet many of you at NSTA in Anaheim tomorrow, Thursday April 16. I teach high school physics at an independent school outside Philadelphia, PA.

I like to think about "Why science education?" especially when I consider the multiple audiences in my classroom - those who will go on to become scientists but also those who will follow many other paths and roles outside of science. What do we as educators tell those students when they wonder why learning about science matters?

Thank you to everyone who attended my workshop or chatted with me at the poster session yesterday!
If you want to review my slide deck or other materials, you can find them on the NSTA site or at https://bit.ly/ezoddaNSTA26

Let me know what you valued about the workshop or suggestions for how this might fit with your student population.
