About

My name is Erica-welcome to Teach.Science.Life!

TEACH.
I have been teaching science for the past 7 years and I am passionate about science education! I love to share what I have learned in the classroom, especially different ways to stay organized and motivated.  I will also be sharing the lessons and curriculum I create, with information geared to new teachers.

SCIENCE.
I have always loved science! The joy of experimenting carries over into my entire life, from the work that I do with my lessons and students (my original "guinea pigs!") to my love of baking, I am always trying to find the why! I will be writing posts on interesting science topics that come up and on the inner-workings of my experiments on my students.

LIFE.
As a mom to two little girls, and a woman with a major baking habit, I am serious about reminding all teachers to keep up with their LIFE! I have seen too many teachers, especially teacher-moms, get caught up in the work, and forget the joy. So while this blog will offer posts and information on teaching and science, it will also offer a healthy dose of life with posts on delicious and easy recipes, as well as fun activities for the under 6 crowd!



It is all about balance- a cupcake in both hands, am I right?!?

  2. Hi Erica,

    I bought a resource from you on TPT, (your guided notes on chemistry) and like i commented I love it, I would love to talk more to you. Could you email me using my TPT email address, so i can ask you a few Q's?

  3. Hello,

    We are a group of researchers from the Brain and Body Lab at UCLA who have launched an online study—Parenting Under Pressure—that examines the impact COVID-19 has had on family life. We are particularly interested in examining how the stress surrounding the pandemic has affected parent and child mental health, as well as the parent-child relationship.

    As we are hoping to recruit families with children aged 6-17 years for the study, we thought it best to reach out to pillars in the community, such as yourself, to see if you would be open to sharing the study with your communities or other online platforms (e.g., websites, blogs, etc.).

    We intend to use the findings of this research to inform future interventions aimed at diminishing the suffering of parents and children during traumatic and disruptive periods like the COVID-19.

    We would love to send you some further information regarding the study and can include both an English and Spanish flyer of the study as well.

    Thank you so much in advance for your time and consideration - we truly appreciate your help. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or requests for further information.

    All the best,

    The Brain and Body Lab Team
