This year's competition featured a cash prize of US$1500, an all-expenses-paid trip to the National Science Teachers Association Conference on Science Education in St Louis, and a personalised Gustav Ohaus award.
Greene's school will also receive $1000 worth of Ohaus products and a plaque to be displayed at the school.
Greene, a resident of Boca Raton, Fla, teaches science to kindergarten through 5th grade students at Poinciana and her winning educational innovation was centered on educating her students about the Ohaus triple beam balance and techniques for using this balance to measure mass.
Greene also uses Ohaus balances to support lessons of discovery across the year's curriculum and next year plans to train these students to be 'balance beam buddies' with students in primary classes.
