About the "Interactive Science Teacher"
My name is Bill Wilkinson (students just call me "Mr. W") and I love teaching science! In the 15 years I've taught one thing has remained constant- ALL students learn better when their their hands and minds work together.

Currently my title is Science Liaison for Vigo County Schools in Terre Haute, Indiana, where I teach daily in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms in different middle schools.

I am proud to say that every lesson on this site is an original that I really did with real students. Only lessons that achieve a rich balance of natural curiosity, science standards, content, and appeal to all students are good enough for this site.

The Wilkinsons in the Rockies last summer-check out the 3,000 year-old pines behind us!
