Introduction
In 2011, my district came to me with an amazing opportunity to re-create our elementary science program based on the idea of elementary science labs.  The National Framework had recently been published and NGSS was on the horizon.  Of course, I said yes!  Now, years later I am still as excited as that first year!  Science education is undergoing major changes and my science labs and our program is in a constant state of evolution.  This site is to share the journey and what I have learned along the way!
