Chillicothe Intermediate STEM

🥗🥙🍜 3rd grade students selected careers of interest to explore in depth during their VOICE studies. Aspiring chefs designed recipes with a focus on nutrition within a budget, and we sampled a variety of “rainbow”🌈 vegetables to highlight the benefits of diverse, balanced ingredients. Students also learned basic knife skills and collaborated with community expert, Maria Cunningham. 🍱 🥘 🍲

Our 5th and 6th grade science fair teams traveled to OU bright and early this morning to compete in the Regional Science Fair. Wish them luck! 💙🔬🥼🔭

We are thrilled to announce that the 4th and 6th grade Battelle teams have been recognized for their incredible work in the OSLN Battelle Design Challenge! 🏆
