Mrs. Hopper's A&P (for Health Science Careers ) class has been learning about the scientific method. The students had a fun and tasty experience performing a Skittles lab.
Skittles in A&P you might ask? Why yes! Before we focus on body systems we learn about other parts of science. Students enjoyed sorting the Skittles, answering pre-lab questions, creating a hypothesis, and collecting data to figure out percentages.
Don't these Twinkies look delicious? ECHS Culinary 1 students in Mrs. Poenitzsch and Mrs. Harp’s classes have been studying the principles of plating and presentation.

The students' exemplary behavior was acknowledged by the Ranch Staff. They represented El Campo with distinction and took home unforgettable memories!
