Hi, and welcome to my world. This my first attempt ever at putting information on the internet. Hopefully, it'll be to your satisfaction. It's kind of a work in progress and hopefully it will remain a work in progress and I will continually update it.

My Classes:

Physics (Fizziks) at Pawnee City is done as a practical application of math in science. From Sig Figs, Vectors and Scalers, 1-D Motion to Thermodynamics, Electricity, and Magnetism. Every quarter we have a large project that we spend approximately a week on. The first is bridge building out of milk straws, the second is a mousetrap power car, the third is a car powered by an electric engine, and the fourth is rocketbuilding. We also try to hab small labs withing the content that we are studying when time and necessity allow. It's a good, but challenging class for Seniors. Trigonometry as a prerequisite is recommended.

Chemistry is the study of matter and its interaction. It is a course that can be taken as Junior or Senior. Here we start off wiht the Periodic Table of Elements, their trends, and how the elements interact. We then get into the language of chemistry; naming, equations, stoichiometry, and the mole. We also try to finish the year with some exposure to higher level chemisty, such as, electric, organic, nuclear, and biochemistry. This class is littered with labs throughout. Students are required to write high level lab reports over projects that we do. It is done in a fast based, inquiry style classroom.

Physical Science is Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics in an introductory course. This is a required class for Freshman. We start with an Earth Science Review; then we move to Chemistry where we learn atoms, periodic trends, bonding, structure, equations, acids, and bases; after chemistry we dive into physics learning about motion, forces, wave dynamics, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism.

Earth Science is the study of the earth. Oceanography, Geology, Meteorology, and Astronomy. It is a required class for the 8th grade. We start out learning basic science ideas then move into rocks and minerals, earth features, and plate tectonics. The weather is next learning how meteorologists predict, cloud types, and climate areas. When we learn about the ocean we learn certain trends, how it was formed, and then it's role in the history of our earth. Finally, we wrap up the year in space. The objects in it, how the universe was formed, and our role in the universe.

If you enter each class you can see the syllabus, my class room rules and the discipline and safety contract.

My Coaching:

I just completed my first year as the head coach of HTRS/PC wrestling. We had a good year and along with my assistant Joe Russo we qualified 3 wrestlers for the Class C State Meet at Omaha's Qwest Center. We hope to now have more experienced wrestlers and can start to compete for team championships throughout the year.

I also have just completed my first year as the manager/head coach of Post #168 Legion Baseball. This was the first year after several years without a program. The teams included players from four different schools (HTRS, Pawnee City, Lewiston, and Axtell (NE)) and from eight different towns. Although records didn't show success, it was a crowning season in which by the end we became very competitive. Hopefully, when the 2008 season comes around we can compete for the area championship.
