Want to learn about compounds and mixtures in a fun and creative way? Students used simple materials like paperclips and beads to make their own! By connecting the paperclips and adding different colored beads, they explored how elements combine to create compounds and how mixtures can be separated. It's an engaging hands-on activity that brings chemistry to life! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

In Dr. Young’s class, students are spreading kindness by making ornaments out of strips of paper that have kind statements written by their classmates.

What a great way to spread joy! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Higgins' pre-algebra students had a blast with a fun and interactive game called Mingle.
