Science One-Pagers

A working folder for teachers — and the argument for why the folder matters

If you teach, start here. Everything on this site is free to use, adapt, and hand to a class — and every source is in the open, so you can check any of it before you do.

I teach biology and chemistry, and this is material I actually use, written out properly. Most pages are short, self-contained readings for advanced students working at an introductory-college level, with key vocabulary and questions to check understanding. The rest is the teaching side: classroom protocols, a chapter-to-unit index, and reflection questions for every chapter of the book. New topics go up over the course of the year.

The book is Everybody’s Science — how scientific thinking actually works, and who it belongs to. It runs on a handful of named ideas, and this site is where those ideas get used on material the book never covers. Read about the book →

The Book

Everything on this site comes out of one argument. This is where that argument lives.

Evidence

How evidence actually gets made, judged, funded, and argued over — the ideas the book is built on, worked out on new material.

Biology

Short readings in biology, each one a real case of evidence being gathered and weighed.

Chemistry

Short readings in chemistry, from a pool deck at 6 a.m. to the chemistry of water on Mars.

Careers

What a science education is actually for, and the paths it opens.

Teaching

Classroom-facing guides, protocols, and reference material for teachers — companion pieces to Everybody’s Science and to the readings above.
