CMS kicked off the 12 Days of Christmas with Glitz and Glam!

8th Grade students in Mrs. Stephens's science classes created their products for the Periodic Party next Tuesday! Students used collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity to plan and create recipes to demonstrate their learning about chemical bonding and the periodic table. Students were also able to redesign or improve their recipes, if they were unsuccessful the first day, as part of the engineering design process. #4Cs #projectbasedlearning
