Areas
Development
With several different organizations, I have developed lessons, multimedia, and activities for classroom use.
- Inquiry-driven lessons based on ongoing scientific research for middle & high school science classrooms, sponsored by ComSciCon & BiteScis. Topics include: convergent evolution, conservation of momentum, human running & impulse. Lessons available here.
- Animations illustrating concepts from neurobiology, with MCB80x. Scroll down for more information.
- Co-host of a professional development workshop for high school science teachers on Methods in Field Ecology. Co-designed an aquatic ecology, inquiry-based, fieldwork-themed lesson plan and guide, and collaborated with teachers to adapt contents for their specific classrooms.
Learning Lab Graduate Fellowship
Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning As a 2016-2018 graduate fellow with the Bok Center's Learning Lab, my primary role was to create/revamp and test (with undergrads) multimedia content for Harvard classrooms, and to develop and teach workshops on science communication (scicomm). We define "multimedia" loosely - encompassing drawing, video, movement...in short, anything non-lecture. See our ongoing work on Flickr. |
