Chemistry teacher at Westerville North High School in Westerville, Ohio.
Put another 62 swamp milkweed cuttings in our DIY aeroponic cloner. Based on our earlier attempt, we anticipate root formation in 13 days.

Constructed this storage rack using mostly salvaged materials. Only had to buy one 2'x4' section of plywood. Will hold our soap fragrances.

It's great when new experiments give us terrific data. It's even more rewarding when we overcome some initial failures. "Figuring it out" never gets old!!!

Kicked off the new year by discovering water under our kitchen sink. Found source of the leak. Quick phone call to my Dad, $6 trip to Lowes, and we are dry!

"How does the pH change during a titration?" Vernier's GoDirect pH sensors allowed my students to see the curve before we discuss it.

Flame tests! Switched from test tubes & nichrome wires to 12-well plates & Q-tips. Excellent results. No more labeling test tubes, need 3 mL of each solution per lab station.
