Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was having my students create Bubble Solution and "Smoke Bubbles" with a Humidifier. A hose was attached to the Humidifier that could be dipped in the Bubble Solution. The children loved it. They got to see Water Vapor inside the Bubble.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use some of the money for classroom supplies and some to further my education. I just earned 3 master's degrees and owe student loans, but am also looking into completing my doctorate.
