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.
