As a teacher of nine years in the Littleton Public Schools, Missy Marchino loves to create a desire to learn more in the hearts and minds of her students. "My goal is to ignite an interest and hopefully a passion in science by demonstrations and hands on activities. I love to find ways to demonstrate difficult science concepts so it is easier for my students to understand. Science is so relevant to life and I love to show students how to live on the edge with science."
