I am a huge believer that students learn best when they are able to make connections to their real world experiences, and I understand that not all students have access to the same experiences. The curriculum takes that into consideration and provides accessible experiences for students and works to help students develop their own questions and ideas surrounding the science topics. I am excited to provide assistance and encouragement to teachers wanting to bring this dynamic curriculum to their students.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/section><\/div><\/div>\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t<script>\n\t\t$('[data-toggle=\"modal\"]').on('click',function() {\n\t\t  var this_id = $(this).attr('data-target');\n\t\t  $('body').addClass('modal-open');\n\t\t  $(this_id).addClass('show');\n\t\t  $('.modal-backdrop').addClass('show');\n\t\t});\n\t\t$(document).on('click',function(e) {\n\t\t\tvar el = e.target;\n\t\t\tif($(el).hasClass('fade modal show')) {\n\t \t\t\tcloseModal();\n\t \t\t}\n\t\t});\n\t\t$(document).on('keydown', function(event) {\n\t\t\tif (event.key == \"Escape\") {\n\t\t\t\tcloseModal();\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t});\n\t\tfunction closeModal() {\n\t\t  $('body').removeClass('modal-open');\n\t\t  $('.fade.modal.show').removeClass('show');\n\t\t  $('[data-toggle=\"modal\"].show').removeClass('show');\n\t\t  $('.modal-backdrop').removeClass('show');\t\t\t\n\t\t}\n\t<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advisory Board<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"search-filter-results\" id=\"search-filter-results-322\">\t\t<div class=\"row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-2 row-cols-lg-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"mb-3 col-12\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card\"><div class=\"h-100\">\n\t\t\t            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A Anderson\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/bscs.org\/climate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/05\/AAnderson1.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; position: static;\">\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div><div class=\"card-body\">\n\t\t    \t\t<p class=\"p-2 text-center text-lg-left\">Andy Anderson<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-outline-primary\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#profile363\">View profile<\/button><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t<!-- modal -->\n\t\n\t\t<!-- end of modal -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"mb-3 col-12\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card\"><div class=\"h-100\">\n\t\t\t            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/bscs.org\/climate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/04\/HBallard-.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; position: static;\">\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div><div class=\"card-body\">\n\t\t    \t\t<p class=\"p-2 text-center text-lg-left\">Heidi Ballard<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-outline-primary\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#profile367\">View profile<\/button><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t<!-- modal -->\n\t\n\t\t<!-- end of modal -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"mb-3 col-12\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card\"><div class=\"h-100\">\n\t\t\t            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"JPellegrino\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/bscs.org\/climate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/04\/JPellegrino.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; position: static;\">\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div><div class=\"card-body\">\n\t\t    \t\t<p class=\"p-2 text-center text-lg-left\">Jim Pellegrino<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-outline-primary\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#profile369\">View profile<\/button><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t<!-- modal -->\n\t\n\t\t<!-- end of modal -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"mb-3 col-12\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card\"><div class=\"h-100\">\n\t\t\t            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"KC Bush\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/bscs.org\/climate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/04\/KCBusch-.jpg\" style=\"max-width: 100%; display: block; position: static;\">\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div><div class=\"card-body\">\n\t\t    \t\t<p class=\"p-2 text-center text-lg-left\">K.C.
