About Me
My name is Ijeoma Nwosu and I have a passion for teaching science. I spent my undergraduate time at North Carolina State University pursuing a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences-Nutrition Concentration with a minor in Health, Medicine, and Human Values. I later attended North Carolina Central University and earned a M.S. in Biology with a minor in Biomedical science. I spent several years working in research before I decided to become a science teacher. I feel my experiences in molecular biology, cancer biology, and ecology allows me to bring a unique perspective to the classroom. I also love utilizing technology in the classroom.
Course Objectives
-Teach students practical scientific skills, which they can use to investigate, study and
explain the world around them.
- For each student to achieve the passing standards for the subject of 8th grade science on
