Density Column Winners!

After much voting, three density columns were picked to represent our four Chemistry I classes.  Then a final winner was selected from a voting team of 7.  I am proud to announce that my very own son, Cooper, won this challenge.  I am all puffed up.  Here are the winners and their masterpieces!






5th hour:  Josh/Aubrey, Alexis, and Bryant



ABOVE:  Chloe, Samantha, and Cory/Colten for 6th hour!


     BELOW:  Kiarra, Jaden, and Cooper represent 8th hour!







Chemistry I Oreo Creations

Art work and Towers were some of the categories.  Here were the entries:

3rd hour Syndi 25 single stuffed oreo tower (world record is 52!):

Emilee also made a 26 single stuffed column!


6th hour Noah Holzer and Jacob Randolph made a "Manly Snowman".


Samantha made a "Pretty Bird":


Caitlynn also made a Turkey/Peacock for 6th hour!


Cooper representing 8th hour with several towers and a ghost!





Exciting "Monster Hand" entry from Kyle B!
