Grading can be overwhelming to say the least!

The longer I've been teaching, the more I've realized that I don't need to grade everything!

Let that sink in!

I used to spend HOURS grading lab reports to give students feedback.

Check out my newest blog post full of grading tips and tricks for science labs and projects!

What’s not to love about water balloons and a power drill???😂

My hubby made a special attachment for the drill so I could use it to demonstrate how the solar system flattens as it spins.

The demo turned out awesome plus the slo-mo feature gave the kids the chance to really observe!

Drop an emoji below if you let students video demos with their phones!
