Hello! My name is Mr. Oliver and I am a science teacher for FIVE, the district virtual option. I know we are going to have a wonderful year and I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you!
Outside of school, I enjoy tinkering with projects around the house and yard. Lately, I've been working on aquaponics, a system that uses a fish aquarium to feed a garden without using soil or fertilizer. I have three adult children: one in his first year at Liberty University, one teaching elementary school art, and one at University of South Carolina as a computer science student.
The only supplies you need for my class are a district-provided chromebook, earbuds, a pencil and some paper in a binder. The binder can be shared with other classes. I may occasionally give you a list of materials for optional home labs. There will be virtual lab options if you don't have the materials at home, so don't worry if you can't get them.
All homework, assignments and general information will be posted in Google Classroom.
