Nick Liu
My name is Nick Liu I have been a teacher for 15 years, I have taught in Miami, China, and Asheville, following a brief first career at the U.S. Geological Survey in New Jersey. After teaching 7th grade science since 2011, I have developed an understanding of the 7th grader and a belief that it is a critical year to engage them with the fundamentals of scientific thinking. The philosophy I would like to impart to students is that life is an experiment; they are the administrator and test subject in that experiment! While science is certainly not the only lens through which to view life, it is an objective one that will lead to a greater understanding of the connections that bind us all–to each other and the world we live in. I use a hands-on approach to engage students and enjoy the freedom to create that teaching allows. My preferred approach to education is that Ignorance is Boring, Knowledge is Power, Power is Responsibility, and Responsibility requires Action!
