About Me

Lisa
Teacher of high school biology and chemistry students. In the summer of 2014, I attended a modeling instruction workshop in chemistry sponsored by a local university.

I started this blog to share my experiences as a novice modeler implementing Arizona State University's biology and chemistry modeling curriculum available through the American Modeling Teachers Association.
