My name is Mrs. Fatima Ali Khan and I'm Science Teacher of Middle school  who’s passionate about helping kids see the wonder in the world around them. I believe science is more than just facts in a textbook, it’s about asking questions, being curious, and learning by doing. Whether we’re building simple machines, growing plants, or figuring out why the sky changes colors, I try to make every lesson feel like a mini adventure. 

My classroom is a place where it’s okay to make mistakes, get a little messy, and explore big ideas. I want my students to walk away not just knowing science, but feeling excited about it. Because once a student feels that spark of discovery, they start to see the world in a new way. And that, to me, is the heart of teaching science.

• Covers key areas of science:

  • Earth Science: Weather, climate, and Earth’s systems

  • Life Science: Cells, ecosystems, and interdependence

  • Physical Science: Matter, energy, forces, and motion

• Showcase engaging labs or hands-on experiments you've led. Include photos (if allowed), a short description, student reactions, or how they supported the lesson.

• Build simple machines like levers and pulleys

• Make weather tools like thermometers and rain gauges

• Grow plants to learn about life and ecosystems

• Mix materials to see how matter changes

• Use fun science websites and games to explore ideas

• Try real experiments and write about what we discover

• Students work in pairs or small groups to set up the dominoes in a continuous chain.
• The goal is to set them up in an exciting, creative design, with a focus on balance and alignment.
• Once the chain is ready, one person knocks over the first box, causing a chain reaction as the dominoes fall one after another.
• Encourages teamwork and collaboration.
• Teaches students about cause and effect as they observe the domino chain reaction.
• Promotes creativity through decoration and design of the domino pieces.
• Develops fine motor skills through cutting, arranging, and handling materials.
• Gather enough empty cereal boxes at school.
• Cut boxes into small sections that can stand upright as individual dominoes (think rectangular pieces.
• Encourage students to rearrange their domino pieces with a symmetrical line in a row.
