Mrs. Cathleen Hansen
Welcome to 7th grade Science!!!
I have been teaching 7th grade science for 12 years at Thompson. I have been teaching in the the Murrieta school district for 24 years.
Science has always been my first love and my goal is to instill a love for science in all my students while also helping them become caring human beings.
I have been married for 36 years and have two children, a son and a daughter and four grandchildren: 2 girls and two boys. I LOVE animals and plants (so interesting) and the ecosystems they live in, so I am happy that our science standards (NGSS) for 7th grade cover many aspects of the world's ecosystems and how all living things interact in these ecosystems. I have a passion for orangutans and I am involved with the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and One More Generation, who are trying to save these fabulous animals.
Thank you for stopping by!!!
