The junior high agriscience class loves the World Food prize final project to finish off the class. This week, students learned about various countries around the world and the agricultural factors with those countries. Also, these students brought in a food product from their country. We had waffles from Belgium, pizza from Italy, chicken kabobs from Japan, chocolate from Germany, Mexican corn dip from Mexico, and so much more.
Chemistry students had the opportunity to choose an element to complete some research on and present to their classmates before final exams. Here are some students showing their creativity with the symbols for their Element Projects!
