Welcome to Mrs. Kochan's super science website!
And we are off.... to an amazing journey through the world of science! Throughout this year, we will be exploring many topics relating to physical, earth, and life science.
This website is here for you to learn about what is going on in class, what is expected, and in case you need to contact me about further information. As your students goes through class this year, have them remember as a scientist, we sometimes need PROOF to be sure of things. We are always making decisions based on facts and data which leads us to draw conclusions! The scientific method is everywhere we go: 1) Pose a Problem 2) Make a Hypothesis 3) Perform an Experiment 4) Collect and Analyze Data 5) Write a Conclusion rooted in Data 6) Communicate Results |
As you know, I am Mrs. Kochan, formerly known as Ms. McGary, and I am the current 7th/8th grade science teacher at Brennan-Rogers: The Art of Communication and Media Magnet School. I am a Connecticut transplant and moved up to Connecticut to go to school at the University of Connecticut. I received my Bachelors of Science as well as my Masters of Arts in Education from the University of Connecticut. Before I became a teacher, I worked in a Hospital Laboratory before going back to school for higher education. While in school, I was a member of the University of Connecticut Varsity Rowing Team. I am a huge athlete and enjoy participating and watching numerous sports. I look forward to this year and bringing my love of science to the forefront.
