In recent weeks, students in Ms. Owen's Family and Consumer Science classes have been engaged in hands-on learning about kitchen safety. They explored essential topics like preventing cross-contamination, practiced accurate measurement techniques, took part in a measurement challenge, and enjoyed a kitchen scavenger hunt. In 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th periods, students tackled “The Kitchen Mishap” case—an interactive mystery set up in Kitchen #4 with caution tape, crime scene markers, a strawberry sauce-covered knife, a chalk outline, and various kitchen hazards. Students worked to piece together what happened to the "injured" party while identifying potential safety risks.
The last week culminated in a baking project on Thursday and Friday, where students across all six periods made cookies for the school dance, enjoying the treats they created. These engaging activities not only teach valuable life skills but also make learning fun and interactive.
