About Me
Hi! My name is Deb and I am pretty much Science@home.
I studied Human Biology and Archaeology in my Bachelor of Science, then did Honours in Anatomy. I started a PhD but decided to go in a different direction, so I went back and did a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education.
I taught in remote communities and towns for 9 years before I had children, so I have taught all sorts of things in addition to Secondary Science and Maths. Because I have usually been the only specialist teacher in tiny schools I have a lot of experience in coming up with creative uses of resources 
Along the way I completed a Master of Education, so I also have a strong grounding in educational theory and why we do what we do.
When I had children I stopped teaching and became a stay at home Mum, which is when I really discovered the internet, it was my support system. I’ve been running a cloth nappy business for the past couple of years, but as my kids are now toilet trained I’ve moved back to my first love, science education.

Hi Deb,
I think you are actually my cousin-in-law! I came to your site via Facebook – Alan is my cousin, I am the daughter of Michael Hodgkin.
This site is fascinating! I could see myself spending far too much time pottering around on it – my kids a re a bit old for your usual target audience, I think, as the youngest is 12, but I think I’ll be showing her anyway. Lots of fun and interesting things to know and do. Keep it up – what a great resource!
Cheers,
Jenny Cox
Hi! I am so very impressed by your blog. I have shared it with my sister-in-law, who helps design and implement science exhibits at the children’s museum where she works, and I’ve also added it to my blogroll. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas–can’t wait to try some of them with my two-year-old!
