The Advanced Foods class has covered a lot during their beverage unit! Students learned all about coffee, teas, smoothies, cocoa, and various other drinks. Throughout the unit, they completed hands-on labs making fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemonade, Orange Julius, hot chocolate mix, and cocoa bombs, culminating in a smoothie competition and a Trendy Drink Challenge.

They did an amazing job with both their labs and classwork—hopefully, their test scores will follow suit! A huge thank you goes to Mrs. Glenn and Mr. Manson for stepping in to sub while Mrs. Schmitt was home sick. It truly takes a village to run a school!

Fourth graders made the most of their day with a Candy Bar Lab! 🎉 Even with a 2-hour delay, our scientists were ready to investigate, explore, and learn.

Students used the scientific method to ask questions, make predictions, test their hypotheses, observe their results, and draw conclusions. They had so much fun getting hands-on with science and seeing how their predictions compared to what actually happened!

And, of course, every good scientist deserves a little treat at the end of an experiment! 😉🍬

A delayed start couldn’t slow down these curious minds! What a sweet way to spend the day! ❤️🍫🔬
