Kolbecast

AMDG. Kolbe science teacher of almost 30 years Leslie Spencer has stories to tell. Before she joined the Kolbe team, Leslie lived in a yurt in China while working as an English teacher. More recently, Leslie traveled to Athens and investigated recent archeological discoveries. Leslie reveals details about what the team uncovered that you have never heard before! Leslie discusses the greatest discoveries of the last 100 years; shares her wisdom on educating high school students, including advice for students who are afraid of being wrong or speaking in front of others; advises parents on how to teach science at home and have fun doing it; and unveils the two reasons why everyone should study science— spoiler alert: they are probably not what you think!
