A little about myself:
Welcome to Mr. Ennis' Science Wikispace! I was born May 17th, 1988 in Livingston, New Jersey. I fell in love with science when I was taking a Biology course during my sophomore year at Livingston High School. I loved how there were so many different types of animals, each being special in its own way, adapting to its surroundings and fighting for its place in the Animal Kingdom. I found the different Biomes of the world fascinating, each with its own specific climate, temperature, amount of rainfall, location, and species. However, what really got me into science was the connections & interactions between species and the world around us. Ever animal, every plant, every unicellular, microscopic organism has a niche in this gigantic world we call Earth.

Another passion of mine is swimming. I have been a competitive swimmer since I was 11 years old and I have competed in many respectable and competitive races. I was Captain of the Livingston Lancer HS swim team my Junior & Senior year as well as Captain of the URI Rams my Senior year. My confidence in the pool has now transferred to my presence in the classroom and I believe it is the leadership roles that I was placed in throughout my years of swimming which have given me the confidence to lead a classroom in scientific discussions and activities.

What You Can Expect:
From Adaptations to Zoology and everything in between I plan to push each and every one of my students to the edge of his/her abilities. Thinking like and becoming scientists is a key component to retaining and understanding the fundamentals being taught. In my class you will find a number of hands-on, minds-on learning activities along with a curriculum that not only meets the standards but goes beyond. I hold my students accountable and expect their good behavior, positive attitude, and work that reflects their best ability.

To my students:
Get ready to Think Big, because I Do.
