STATIONS DECEMBER 2ND-

DECEMBER 6TH

Project OverviewThinking Like a Scientist to create a

Healthy Cookbook

Students will apply their science skills to creating a healthy cookbook for the Spring Fling and 5K this spring. Our project will be launched this week, which will ask students to make healthy substitutions to their favorite recipes in order to create a cookbook.

In connection to science, as the students discuss recipes ingredients, they will learn about solids, liquids, and gases.
