Metro J-Term 2025

In January, 2025 I was asked by Metro Middle School’s Middle School Science Teacher, Deb Juracich, to come to Metro with my agriculture, livestock, and Applied STEM Curriculum to share with kids. I would spend four periods with four different classes, and at the end of each day I would compose a blog post about the lesson, and more critically, what the kids took away from it. Here are those blog posts.

I should mention the fact that the weather in Columbus this year (2025) was bitter cold, and there were a few days where school was cancelled. This some of these blog posts double up on days. The learning never stopped, nor did the innovation.
