Welcome to Science!

I am the science teacher, Ms. Ahmed, and it is a pleasure to have you all as part of the MS 890 community. Through various learning activities and experiments, I intend to provide students with the opportunity to experience the wonders of science first hand and challenge them to excel, both academically and personally. On this page, you will find information about assignments, upcoming quizzes or exams, review materials, and helpful science resources. I am looking forward to an exciting year in science class!
​If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at Sahmed37@schools.nyc.gov.
