About

I am Ms. Paxson and I teach AICE Environmental Management and AICE/AP Biology at GHS. I am also the GHS Science Department Chair, and I sponsor the Earth Club, Women in STEAM club, and the Gainesville Youth Fossil Club.  I am also very, very happy to be your science teacher this year!  I believe in hands on science learning, and both of my classes have many laboratory exercises and activities.  In environmental, I believe in outdoor education and interacting with the world around us in as positive a way as possible.  Finally, I believe in working together so that you may most effectively master the science class you are currently taking.  If you ever need help, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Many of the resources I use in class and have posted on this website are only available because of the generosity of Gayle Evans, Kim Foglia, Scott Flamand, and others.  Many of my lecture powerpoint slides in particular were modified from available slides posted by Ms. Foglia. Teachers of this course looking for editable PDFs can access these powerpoints at this website. I thank them immensely for their help and for sharing resources!
