My name is Daniel Weiss and I am the science teacher at BEST High School.  I started teaching at BEST in 2009-10 and I am very excited to investigate science and how it relates to our lives here in Western Washington.

I am teaching Environmental Science, Physical Science, and Biology.  These are all great courses and I encourage all BEST students who need science credit to join one of our classes.

Prior to becoming a teacher, I spent 12 years working as a biologist and environmental scientist throughout the Northwest.  In my work as a biologist, I primarily studied fish, wildlife, and wetlands in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska.  During this time, I also assessed hazardous waste sites to determine the best clean-up solutions.  I look forward to using my experiences to make our classroom activities relevant and exciting.
