Victoria Wells
Pre-Service Teacher
University of Northern Iowa
My name is Victoria Wells, and I am currently a student at the University of Northern Iowa. I am studying Elementary Education with a Basic Science Minor. I've always enjoyed science and my field experience in a 6th grade science classroom encouraged me to go for the science teaching minor! I cannot wait to learn as much as possible from this conference to improve my science knowledge and bring back amazing ideas for my future classroom.
