The Abyss is a monthly deep dive into the science happening all around us. Going far beyond surface-level explanations, each post reveals creative ways to connect with science on a personal level, inspiring you to find, appreciate, and share the beauty of scientific discovery.

What You’ll Find in Every Post:

• Hands-On Classroom Activities: Ready-to-use experiences designed for immediate implementation with your students.

• Clear NGSS Alignments: Connections to Science & Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts for every activity, so you always know the exact skills and thought processes your students are building.

• The Benthic Buzz: The benthic zone is the deep, peaceful bottom of the ocean floor. At the end of every post, you’ll find a thoughtful reflection question, a space for us to meet, connect, and engage in deep conversation before returning to the bright, busy surface of daily teaching.

Have fun exploring The Abyss! If a post resonates with you or sparks an idea, head over to the Contact Page and tell me all about it. Let’s get that Benthic Buzz going!
