Elizabeth (Liz) Hill lives and teaches in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Liz enjoys reading non-fiction science and social science books, exploring the outdoors, and engaging with science learning in the classroom. As a kindergarten teacher, Liz loves to help students have new experiences with scientific inquiry, outdoor explorations, and engineering. 

 “As a child, growing up in a rural environment, being outside was how I spent most of my summer days. “Helping” my grandparents in the garden or greenhouse or watching bees and butterflies in the herb garden was something that felt safe and so enjoyable. I spent my earliest days growing pumpkins, picking blackberries, and learning how to climb to the highest branches of the trees. I now know that being encouraged to be fearless in my explorations gave me so much freedom and courage in learning.”

Now, one of her greatest joys is seeing a child develop confidence in an exploration or endeavor that once felt challenging.
