Today after school, my daughter and I were driving home. As we turned onto a very busy street, we noticed a VERY LARGE turtle topple off the curb and into the street. The poor guy landed upside down! I need a bumper sticker that says "I brake for turtles!" We stopped and picked up the turtle and put him in our car. We released him into our pond, and I hope he lives happily ever after.

Real Science Teaching. Real Classroom Experience.
I’m Amy Brown, a veteran high school biology and chemistry teacher, wife, and mom who understands the daily reality of lesson planning, grading, meetings, and everything in between. I know what it feels like to have too much to do and not enough time to do it.
After decades in the classroom, I’ve created rigorous, classroom-tested biology and chemistry resources that save you planning time while still delivering strong, meaningful science instruction. Every lab, activity, and lesson is designed to move students beyond memorization and into real scientific thinking.
If you want your students excited about science and thinking deeply without spending your entire weekend planning, you’re in the right place.

We Stop for Turtles!

Amy, thank you (and your daughter) for braking for turtles!! I'm sure this little guy wasn't on his way to negotiate world peace, but he was certainly going somewhere important to him! Glad you were driving by when he took the dive. I'm sure he appreciates being taken to a better, bigger, more up-scale neighborhood!
