                >When you&rsquo;re a science teacher, you have a unique
                opportunity to guide your students through a fascinating world
                of hands-on, exciting inquiry and discovery. But what happens
                when those in-person experiments and face-to-face lessons are
                taken away? What do you do when you must transition from a
                brick-and-mortar laboratory to a virtual classroom to maintain
                social distance? How do you keep your kids (and yourself)
                excited about science? Well, like all good scientists, you
                research, experiment, and discover your way back into an
                engaging and thrilling world of enlightenment!</span
