Sherlton
Broadnax
As an
instructor of the biological sciences, Sherlton is interested
in engaging her students using real data from the Millpond.
Sherlton looks for new challenges for her AP Biology students
and for ways to capture the excitement of learning science
in her introductory biology classes. She says “ I am
interested in this project because I feel it will be an excellent
way for me to learn about the ecology of the local community
– to share with my students.”

likes to “get out of class to do real science”.
She provides her students with field opportunities that range
from geology/environmental trips to the North Carolina mountains
to coastal assessment field experiences sponsored by the N.C.
Coastal Federation. Teri teaches many of the biological sciences,
including AP Biology, at Gates County High School. She believes
that technology enhances the process as well as the outcome
of science experimentation, and seeks to stay current with
the latest science education technology tools.
