Last Week at FCMS
Mrs. Ariens' 6th grade Science classes kicked off "Halloween Science Week" with "Candy Corn Catastrophe". Students worked in groups to solve a mystery by examining 6 evidence bags containing destroyed candy corn. They practiced the important Science skills of making observations and inferences. Great engagement and fun!
