McWilliams’ innovative teaching idea, “Moving Science,” is focused on providing students with interactive, hands-on science activities. Middle school students will travel to elementary schools in the local area to provide fun demonstrations and real-world discussions to make learning about science a fun experience. Students in sixth and seventh grade will concentrate on science objectives, while younger students will participate in the hands-on activities to increase their knowledge on science concepts, preparing them for the fifth-grade science test. McWilliams believes learning from their peers will also create an easier and smoother transition to middle school.
