Extractions: Hi, I am Jacklyn Bonneau, a teacher at Massachusetts Academy for Mathematics and Science at Worcester, Massachusetts . I joined the faculty here after fifteen years of teaching at Shrewsbury High School in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, and several years elsewhere. I live in Thompson, Connecticut with my husband, a newly retired science teacher and serve as Chairman of the Board of Education. I have a son, Chris, who recieved his doctorate from Michigan State in Political Science. He will begin teaching at the University of Pittsburg. I also have a daughter, Jenn who is serving an electrical apprenticeship with the US Navy in Portsmouth Virginia. At Mass Academy, I currently teach Physics, Research Seminar, Introduction to Engineering and electives like forensic science. The academy is a school for students accelerated in mathematics and science as juniors and seniors. It is an exam school which is free to the students in the state and considered a public school. We are located in a new facility just off the campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute . Our philosophy includes an active learning environment where students explore many topics in an interdisciplinary way. Please walk through some of these below and let us know what you think. I am currently working to construct student pages, faculty support pages will be following.

Extractions: W elcome to the Science Education Resource Page! This is a web site dedicated to helping science teachers by providing some science teaching resources. Science Concepts in the form of concept development, demonstrations, labs and activities and teaching tips. A list of annotated Science Links that are categorized by subject or organization. In addition, we are constructing a site that also attends to our Professional Development as teachers. The design, maintenance, and contents of this web site have primarily been the work of teacher candidates enrolled in the secondary-school science panel of the Bachelor of Education program at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Science Concepts T his page contains the complete list of the major concepts involved in teaching Science in the Secondary Classroom. The concepts are divided into Biology, Chemistry, Physics and General Science. Each major concept is listed and linked to its list of Concept Development, Demos, Tips and Labs/Activites. M ost web sites for science teachers focus exclusively on lesson plans, demonstrations, and ideas to assist them in improving the presentation of science subject matter. The following is a page of links to examples of how a science teacher can enhance the quality of the teaching and learning experiences of his/her students. By problematizing our own teaching and learning, we can begin to conduct "research" on our own practice in order to enhance the experiences of all learners, including our own.
