We are Sue & Lori

So glad you stopped by!

💕 Simply stated, this is us 💕

🌸 We are the middle school science teachers sitting in the back of the room during staff development, having way too much fun for a Friday afternoon meeting.

🌸 We are the gals that bring hummus and carrots along with a nice, ice-cold soda in hand.

🌸 All things science makes us happy.

🌸 Passionate about increasing student engagement.

🌸 Believe in helping “the one”… the one who needs a little extra help to catch up or a little extra push to extend their thinking.

🌸 Lovers of organization.

🌸 Middle schoolers are our jam.

Chances are… you’re here because…

… you want to be a rockstar teacher. You want to up the student engagement in your class and you want to make sense of all things Science. Because, let’s be real — there is A LOT that goes into science besides the daily lesson planning.

And...

…you want to live your best life AFTER work. You want to actually have dinner with your family. We feel you! Believe us. We have been there, and some days we STILL find ourselves there. But here’s the thing. Being a teacher invites us daily to be resilient, adaptable, to show up and be present for our students. You know you need content-rich material and that it needs to be aligned to the National Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), but…

You need more time.
You have little to no science curriculum at your school and just don’t know where to start.
You feel overwhelmed and disorganized with all the things science.

If any of that sounds like you, you are in the right place! We are Sue and Lori and we help empower teachers like you to deliver high engagement lessons in an organized and streamlined space so you can take back your life.

On the best of days, teaching is exhausting!

But we are going to let you in on a little secret. Teaching doesn’t have to take over your life. In fact, you can teach with confidence and still put the fun back into science!
