Science Department

teacher
Meri Cain
Department Chair

Undergraduate Degree: B.A. Biology, English Literature, Agnes Scott College
Education Experience: Fifteen years at FCS, eighteen years total
Church Home: Fellowship Bible Church
Favorite Bible Verse: Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
What I enjoy most: The challenge of teaching the sciences is that one must encourage students who are confronted with the need to apply knowledge and utilize practiced skills to solve novel problems. The growth of students from anxious, uncertain chemists to confident, capable problem solvers is very rewarding. At FCS, teaching the content is immersed in a matrix that is rich in relationship. I so enjoy getting to know my students and having the privilege of observing their growth in life and, most significantly, in their faith. Many of them become lifelong friends upon graduation. It is wonderful to witness the tremendous men and women they become.

Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:8-9
What I enjoy most: My goal as a teacher is for my students to leave my class with a solid foundation of knowledge regarding the area of study we are engaged in exploring. I also desire to impact my students in their walk with the Lord. “Students learn what they care about, from people they care about, and who they know care about them” – Carson.
