Thank you for your fun and exciting way to approach science. (I have to admit, I got a lab coat, oh my goodness, never in a million years did I ever think I would ever say that! ha!) My students come running when they see that. They know something fun and interesting is about to happen. I always had struggled in science in school, but something magical happened....I was introduced to new ways of intruducing science via Bill Ritz and his group. I now have a new outlook on science and the approach to keep it interesting. All this from a girl who barely passed Biology with extra credit! Thank You!

Thanks for sharing the stories as well, I had a simlar experience recently, where one of my colleagues was visiting a school and observed a young science teacher, after the lesson he (the science teacher) asked her (the consultant) if she knew me, she said, yes we share an office, and he replied, "I became a science teacher because of Mr. Ozmun, He was my fourth grade teacher."
