I have always enjoyed Physics and Science, or as the dictionary definition reads "The analysis of nature". So much so that I decided to study Astrophysics at University and am looking to pursue a career in science teaching. Through the University of St. Andrews I am spending one afternoon a week during the fall term of 2011 at Bell Baxter High School in Cupar as part of a Science Teaching and Communication course offered during my fourth and final year of study. Following in the footsteps of my father (also a high school science teacher) and to independently aid in the communication portion of the module I have set up this blog to share scientific ideas, course content, answers to students questions and topics of general interest in the field of science.
So if you are equally interested in science please follow and share this blog, and hopefully we will all learn something in the process.
