Maurice Cullen, a teacher for more than 17 years, says, “I want to teach science all day! Life Science is about anything alive.” His lessons incorporate everyday observations that help his students see the delicate relationships among all things living. His classroom is full of plants and live animals that are incorporated into his lesson plans. Activities include raising and releasing oysters, collecting trash from local waterways, and improving bird habitats. Cullen understands the importance of developing curricula to foster future environmentalists.
