As the culminating project on a unit on chemical/physical change and mixtures/solutions, our 5th grade students competed in a holiday baking competition. Students were split into groups or pairs and created a recipe for a baked good. Professional bakers and community volunteers to bake the items to the students specifications. Students were even a video message with words of encouragement from celebrity chef, Carla Hall!
Items were then judged based on taste. Congratulations to our winners!
