My Project

Our middle school is embarking on Year-End Studies (CMS Days) projects to wrap up the 2023-2024 school year and asking teachers to be creative in seeking funding resources. CMS Days projects are driven by student interest and choice. Materials in the Case of the Kidnapped Cookies kit will be used as part of activities to teach students about the science behind the yellow tape! We will specifically explore the connections between biology, chemistry, physics, and crime-solving. We will complete several modules of this unit in addition to guest presenters and a walking field trip to the police department.
