Seventh graders in Maryssa Wilson’s Agriculture 7 class recently learned about the history of hot chocolate. Some of what they learned included how and why it changed from a bitter and cold drink to a warm and sweet drink.
Students then had the opportunity to put their recipe reading skills to the test and find creative hot chocolate recipes. Some included peanut butter, orange zest, and frozen.
Tasty!

Students in Peter Okoniewski's physical science class recently completed research projects on common over-the-counter medications. Students were tasked with researching their selected drug, providing scientific explanations on how they work, and then developing a claim and provide scientific reasoning as to whether their selected drug should remain over-the-counter or be prescription medications. Students presented their findings to the class.
Great work with some interesting facts and opinions!
