Women & Girls in Science Day 🧬 Tomorrow is National Women & Girls in Science Day — let’s celebrate. Science isn’t just history — it’s happening right now. From imaging black holes to editing genes to mapping our universe, women are doing the work, leading the teams, and changing what we know. Not someday. Not “inspiring.” Right now.

I’m refining a few clarity‑first science tools this week, including a new game called Science Showdown. It’s still in the tadpole phase — developing, forming, not quite ready to hop into the world yet. If you want to hear more as it grows, comment “ribbit”.

We have a new logo! ✨ And honestly… it feels like the perfect moment to tell you what’s happening behind the scenes. I’ve been working on this space every single day — refining the vision, building resources, shaping the community, and laying the foundation for something I hope becomes a thriving home for teachers who want to think differently about how they teach science. As you start to see the updates — the new logo, the cleaner visuals, the Pinterest boards, the Instagram posts, the Facebook presence — I hope you can feel the direction this is heading. My goal is simple: Science made clear. Teaching made lighter. A community where we grow together. I’m deeply passionate about this work, and I want this space to become a place where you feel supported, inspired, and equipped to teach science with confidence and clarity. Your questions, your comments, your engagement — they help me understand what you need and how I can serve you better. This community only gets stronger when we build it together. If you find value here, I’d love for you to share this space with a colleague or friend who teaches science. And if you’re curious about the membership that’s coming, stay close — it’s being built with so much intention. Thank you for being here at the beginning. We’re just getting started. ✨

I made a quick, printable guide that walks you through The Science Spot Method — how I teach science clearly, simply, and in a way that works for any grade and any topic. If you’ve ever wanted science to feel lighter, clearer, and actually teachable, this guide breaks down the whole approach in a clean, easy format. No fluff. No jargon. Just clarity.

⭐ ANNOUNCEMENT: How Points Work Inside The Science Spot Engagement is what moves your teaching forward. Welcome to The Science Spot — I’m so glad you’re here. Before we dive into lessons, resources, and weekly support, here’s a quick look at how points work and why they matter in this space. Points aren’t about competition. They’re about participation, growth, and momentum. Every time you show up — even in small ways — you’re building your confidence, your practice, and your community. ✨ How You Earn Points You earn points naturally whenever you engage: • posting questions • sharing wins or challenges • commenting on threads • reacting to posts • participating in weekly support • joining discussions • completing tasks or prompts If you’re here learning, planning, or connecting, you’re earning points. 📈 Why Points Matter in The Science Spot Points unlock levels. Levels unlock access. As you level up, you’ll gain access to: • additional resources • deeper support • bonus materials • advanced tools • special topic threads • occasional surprises But the real purpose? Points reflect your engagement — and engagement is what transforms your teaching. The more you interact, the more support you receive, and the more value you get from this space. ⭐ TEACHER NOTE — SCIENCE AS A BRIDGE (CORE PILLAR) Just like in the classroom, engagement here strengthens real skills. Every time you participate, you’re practicing the same habits we want students to build: • reasoning • asking questions • making meaning • connecting ideas • building confidence • learning through community This is the heart of Science as a Bridge: we strengthen foundational skills through meaningful participation — not memorization, not isolation. Your engagement here mirrors the kind of thinking we want students to develop. 🚀 What Happens as You Level Up As your points grow, you’ll unlock: • new areas of the community • additional lesson resources • deeper support threads • bonus content • special events • advanced planning tools
